Abstract

The rebirth of mobile application stores has energized the markets of mobile ecology in both commercial and research communities alike. However, the effort involved in public application deployment via a commercial store is a trade-off of design, features, and functionality; free applications are no exception. This article discusses some features, design considerations, and strategies to lessen the associated trade-off in the commercial deployment of mobile research prototypes. In particular, the security principle of Defense in Depth can be applied to mobile research to ensure the integrity and validity of collected real-world data.
