The smartphones are widely used nowadays, besides voice communication; the authors routinely use them to access the internet, conduct monetary transactions, send text messages and query a lot of useful information regarding the location of specific places of interest. The use of smartphones in their day-to-day communication raises many unresolved security and privacy issues. In this paper they identify relevant security attacks in Wireless Cellular Network. The authors conduct experiments in four different platforms such as Iphone, Android, Windows and Blackberry. The packets captured through Wireshark for approximately 24 minutes, giving them a lot of information regarding security and privacy issues involving the users. A lot of useful apps installed and used by the end-users have serious issues in terms of privacy and the information exposed. Which is the better platform comparing all four and what exactly do they expose from the user\u2019s information? What are the threats and countermeasures that the users should be aware of? The aim of the authors\u2019 paper is to give answers to the above questions based on the data captured by conducting real-life scenarios.<\/p>","DOI":"10.4018\/jitn.2013040106","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2013,8,6]],"date-time":"2013-08-06T13:17:31Z","timestamp":1375795051000},"page":"66-82","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":1,"title":["Theoretical Analysis and Experimental Study"],"prefix":"10.4018","volume":"5","author":[{"given":"Eralda","family":"Caushaj","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"CSE, Oakland University, Rochester, MI, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Huirong","family":"Fu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"CSE, Oakland University, Rochester, MI, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Ishwar","family":"Sethi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"CSE, Oakland University, Rochester, MI, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Haissam","family":"Badih","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"CSE, Oakland University, Rochester, MI, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Dion","family":"Watson","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"DET, Grambling State University, Grambling, LA, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Ye","family":"Zhu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"ECE, Cleveland State University, Rochester, MI, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Supeng","family":"Leng","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"SCIE, University of Electronic Science and Technology of China, Chenghua, Chendu, Sichuan, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"2432","reference":[{"key":"jitn.2013040106-0","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","unstructured":"Allman, M., Paxson, V., & Blanton, E.
