Chin et al. [2], conducted a study involving 60 smartphone users to gain insight into the user perception on smartphone
security and application installation habits.
They found that, in general, users are more concerned and apprehensive about performing privacy-sensitive tasks on their smartphones than on their laptops.
The most worrying attacks are theft, data loss, malware and wireless network attacks.
Although the focus of the work is to analyze the main concerns of users about security and privacy, it can not be used
to characterize the concrete security of mobile devices.
