Abstract
Today, Smartphone device uses are increasing day-by-day such as email, gaming, Internet banking, which requires it to always remain connected with Wi-Fi. This makes it vulnerable to numerous attacks. In this paper, we explore different Smartphone vulnerabilities, malwares, and security challenges. In addition, we also present a classification of various security solutions proposed in the literature. It provides better understanding about current security issues and challenges in Smartphone Wi-Fi access channel, current solution space, and future research direction to protect it from variety of DDoS attacks.
