Clandestine Transmissions and Operations of Embedded Software on Cellular Mobile Devices

摘要

In this thesis, we develop a method to offload data in a clandestine fashion from an Android cellular mobile device. Due to the Short Message Service (SMS) message system's reliability and widespread availability, it is ideally suited as the vehicle through which to conduct data transmissions. This thesis found that using a transmission rate of one SMS message every ten seconds, combined with a total file size of 13.53 KB, produced a successful data file delivery rate of 100 percent.
