Info

Study into the implications of Smartphone operating system security where the operating system and the device are built by the same company, e.g. Apple, BlackBerry and Google-branded Android devices MNO or Manufacturer branded Stock ROM/Firmware: This type is when the Stock ROM/Firmware is enhanced by a MNO or a device manufacturer (OEM). Changes can be interface enhancements, custom User Interface (UI), modifications made to work in certain regions and on certain mobile networks and restrictions to limit the use of a device within a specific region or MNO. The majority of Android devices are considered to be branded Stock ROM. Custom ROM/Firmware: These are usually at the ‘unofficial’ end of the mobile industry where independent developers will take the basic ROM/Firmware and customise it. Custom ROMs are more common on the more open mobile operating systems, including Android. Goode Intelligence © 2013 P a g e | 133 www.goodeintelligence.com
Study into the implications of Smartphone operating system security Appendix G: Goode Intelligence research methodology and assumptions Goode Intelligence (GI) aims to create research and analysis that is independent, unbiased, accurate, reliable and actionable. To help GI achieve these goals, a research and analysis methodology has been developed that uses a combination of industry best practice and tried and tested research and analysis techniques. It is complimented by the experience of the GI research and analysis team of developing products that are readable, intelligent and useable. The GI research and analysis methodology uses a combination of quantitative and qualitative techniques in evaluation. The GI research and analysis methodology is being constantly monitored and fine-tuned to ensure that the information that is published is independent, unbiased, accurate, reliable and actionable. Bound into this research methodology are Quality Assurance (QA) methods whereby all stages are reviewed, either internally or externally. Where it is internally reviewed, a Principle or Senior Analyst will ‘peer’ review each stage before it is accepted. GI follows a three-stage methodology for research projects that is outlined in the graphic below. Scope Scope Research Analysis & Report Generation The scope stage is managed by GI with strategic input from the client. The end result is a formal, signed-off, project scope. The scope is a working document that forms the framework for the project. Both the project sponsor and GI sign-off the project scope document. The scoping exercise has these major benefits: 1. To identify high-level project objectives, key deliverables, project resources and timeline. Goode Intelligence © 2013 P a g e | 134 www.goodeintelligence.com
