Abstract

Virtualization, a well established technology in the desktop and server domain, is currently investigated and analyzed with respect to its potential within mobile devices. The paper argues that mobile devices, which are targeting a completely open setup (e.g. Linux based), are facing severe security challenges. Thus, virtualization will be discussed as an enabler for security in mobile devices. Virtualization approaches and elements are discussed in detail taking this use case and existing limitations of mobile embedded devices into account.
