Generation of Application-Level Traffic Markings from Smartphones

Mobile Network Carriers are experiencing unprecedented data traffic loads which are straining their

existing infrastructure. They are thus interested in exploring research areas which focus on reducing

this traffic load. The malicious traffic generated by malware on smartphones is of particular interest.

My research focuses on the generation of a software system that marks traffic from smartphones to

indicate the specific phone application which has generated the data flow. Network carriers will then

be able to give good bandwidth allocation to only known and trusted applications while unknown

applications, including malware, will not be given the bandwidth allocation they would require to

cause significant congestion. As part of the University of Victoria’s Entrepreneurial Engineering

Masters Program, I will work closely with experts from Wesley Clover and the Alacrity Foundation

with the intention of creating a commercial entity upon completion of the project.
