Compilation of a Network Security/Machine Learning Toolchain for Android ARM Platforms

Abstract : This report provides the instructions necessary to prepare the Basic Linear Algebra Subprograms (BLAS) library and LibPCap library for use on an Android-based device. Instructions are also included that give the additional capability of being able to compile FORTRAN-based source code to the Android Native Development Kit (NDK) that is not provided by default, which will be needed to compile BLAS. These packages provide basic functionality for machine learning-oriented network security applications, and promote the use of the Android platform as a suitable test bed for research into security tools for mobile and ad-hoc networks.
