Subject: The dissertation constructs a taxonomy of security vulnerabilities in Android and iOS operating systems reported by CVSS (Common Vulnerability Scoring System). Also, it analyzes the attack process, presents the technical weakness and explains the CVE instances at a technical depth.

1- Write an introduction to the dissertation (Times new roman, size 10, not less than 7 pages, single space). The citation should be put in the text with the matching number in the list of the references.

1- Introduction: The introduction should include explanations about:

- Terminology

• Taxonomy
• Component
• Software Component
• Hardware Component
• Authority
• Vulnerability
• Impacted Component
• Privileges
• Resources
• Confidentiality
• Integrity
• Availability
• Mobile operating system
• iOS
• Android
• Buffer overflow attacks
• Spyware
• Trojan Horse attacks
• Integer overflow
• Denial of Service attacks
• Social engineering attacks
• Ransomware

- Background of CVSS:

• What is the Common Vulnerability Scoring System
• A vulnerability
• Vulnerability Scoring
• Metric
• Vulnerability Scoring System (VSS)
• Vulnerability Score
• The CVE identity number
• The CVSS (Common Vulnerability Scoring System) score: what does high, medium, low mean.
• Base Metrics - Exploitability and Impact
• Environment Metrics - Impact modifiers and General Modifiers
• Temporal Metrics - Exploitability, Remediation level and Report confidence

- Why it is important to do a taxonomy and an analysis to the vulnerabilities of iOS and Android.

2- The literature Review

Write a literature review of the subject area mentioned (Not less than 40 arguments of 40 different papers that were written in the subject provided) "previous research on the topic". The citation should be put in the text with the matching number in the list of the references.
