A model for secure mobile computing

People are increasingly using different mobile devices for different personal and business applications and data. In order for users to transfer data from one device to another, potentially insecure cloud storage solutions are being used. This problem becomes more pronounced when people starts transferring corporate data between devices using potentially insecure cloud storage solutions. The Neo model presented in this paper provides a conceptual solution where a user will have one device, called the Neo device that can be used for both business and personal use. The device interfaces with different types of inputoutput peripherals allowing the user the freedom to choose an IO peripheral for a specific need. The Neo model also describes how a company can control access to the data and applications stored on the Neo device belonging to the company without having access to personal data stored on the Neo device.
