A middleware for securing mobile mashups
Mashups on traditional desktop devices are a well-known source of security risks. In this paper, we examine how these risks translate to mobile mashups and identify new risks caused by mobile-specific characteristics such as access to device features or offline operation.

Evaluating an SCCM implementation for Android, we find that SCCM successfully protects against common attacks such as inserting a malicious widget from the outside.
