A C2DM Based Framework for Detection and Notification of Terrorist Activities on Android Platform

Abstract—The mobile phones have become undeletable part of human’s daily life, it has created a huge wireless network across the world. Android has carried a wide attention in mobile operating system era due to its features like Open Source, free of cost, customizable and large number of applications. Android’s Cloud to Device Messaging (C2DM) is a project for androids; it provides a service that helps in sending data from servers to their android devices and vice-versa. This paper presents a framework that uses C2DM server to identify suspicious persons or object and terrorist activities. Whenever any suspicious activity is recorded by any registered device it sends the data or the alert to the crime branch through C2DM server and an alert can be generated to the Police and persons present at nearby area. This framework can also be used in sending alert messages on the event of natural disasters like earthquake, Tsunami, Heavy rain etc.

Index Terms—Android devices, cloud to device messaging service (C2DM), platform-as-a-service (PaaS), polling/push services, terrorist activity detection.
