Smartphones have become a popular and an
imperative form of mobile computing devices. With the
proliferation of smartphones however, the security threats have
correspondingly increased. Although, some form of security
mechanisms like authentication and encryption have been
provided on platforms such as Android and iOS, these alone
cannot mitigate all the forms of threats. Malwares for
smartphones is also on the rise and pose a grave security threat.
Hence the need for an intrusion detection system for smartphones
has become immensely important. This paper aims to discuss the
current trends in intrusion detection mechanisms for
smartphones. The important features that such a system should
have are network traffic monitoring, classification of the packets
and reporting to the user in the event of an attack. Further, we
expound on the types of an IDS and explore its features in detail.
The open issues concerning the implementation of IDS have also
been discussed.

In this paper, we have discussed the basics of intrusion
detection and prevention systems, taking into account the
different types and the performance measures. A generic
architecture of IDS has also been provided. A brief
description of the types of attacks has been stated. We also
present a review of recent works on the different
approaches of IDS for smartphones.Finally, the open
issues related to the implementation of IDS have been
accounted.
