    The design and implementation of mobile deluge on Android platform for wireless sensor network reprogramming
    (2017-11-28) Faruk, MD Omor; Liang, Yao; Tuceryan, Mihran; Mukhopadhyay, Snehasis
    Wireless Sensor Networks (WSN) is being used in various applications including environmental monitoring, site inspection and military. WSN is a distributed network of sensor devices that can be used to monitor temperature, humidity, light and other important metrics. The software that runs on the sensor devices define how the device should operate. In real world WSN deployment, device software update is required to maintain optimal operation. In this thesis, we propose a novel idea of updating the software of the sensor nodes using a mobile device running on Android Operating System. Our implementation builds upon Mobile Deluge with few enhancement which is a method of re-programming WSN with laptop computer. We have evaluated our application performance by lab experiments and in real world deployments of WSN and found the application stable and battery efficient.

    Ranking of Android Apps based on Security Evidences
    (2020-12) Maharjan, Ayush; Raje, Rajeev R.; Tuceryan, Mihran; Zou, Xukai
    With the large number of Android apps available in app stores such as Google Play, it has become increasingly challenging to choose among the apps. The users generally select the apps based on the ratings and reviews of other users, or the recommendations from the app store. But it is very important to take the security into consideration while choosing an app with the increasing security and privacy concerns with mobile apps. This thesis proposes different ranking schemes for Android apps based on security apps evaluated from the static code analysis tools that are available. It proposes the ranking schemes based on the categories of evidences reported by the tools, based on the frequency of each category, and based on the severity of each evidence. The evidences are gathered, and rankings are generated based on the theory of Subjective Logic. In addition to these ranking schemes, the tools are themselves evaluated against the Ghera benchmark. Finally, this work proposes two additional schemes to combine the evidences from difference tools to provide a combined ranking.
