Abstract
The subject disclosure presents a novel technique for balancing the tradeoff between security monitoring and energy consumption on mobile devices. Security/energy tradeoffs for host-based detectors focusing on rootkits are analyzed along two axes: a scanning frequency, and a surface of attack. Experimental results are applied to a hypervisor-based framework, and a sweet spot is identified to minimize both energy consumption and a window of vulnerability for critical operating system objects such as code pages and kernel data.
