Malware on Android

As everyone reports: there has been malware on Google's Android market. I have to add that such a thing removes the remaining security from SMS-TANs or similar two factor authentication schemes. One way out of that problem would be to use an additional trusted execution environment on smart phones.

  1. I haven't really read anything about
    trusted execution environment.
    How does this improve over TPM?

  2. I have posted a short description of TrustZone, and why I think it's better than TPM. By the way: Google have remotely de-installed the malware.
