Abstract:
Smartphones, tablets, laptops and other mobile devices dominate our every day life and became indispensable for many businessmen. But at the same time the number of security vulnerabilities have been increasing. To increase the security of such devices the paper proposes a proxy running in a cloud environment that controls the access for mobile device to applications, enterprise services or Internet services. The developed access management system based on the Role Based Access Control (RBAC) model has been extended by 5 security levels. These security levels are determined by a classification of the user, the communication channel, and the device itself.
