Security threats for computer workstations and servers have been receiving full attention from both cyber security companies and researchers. Researchers and security companies employ honeypots as a platform to capture both an attacker’s profile as well as the behaviour of destructive programs (i.e., virus, malware, Trojan). However, little attention has been given to security monitoring for smart mobile devices, which includes smart phones and tablet PCs.Therefore, this paper proposes a conceptual framework for deploying honeypots in smart mobile devices. The proposed conceptual framework for mobile honeypots could run in two modes. In addition to conventional methods in capturing patterns of attacks, the conceptual framework has also considered incorporating user behavioural modelling for better understanding of specific user behaviour for cyber security.
