Acute Analysis Of Over Privileged Android Apps

The authors have organized the article very logically by giving a series of problems that link together can make the smartphone insecure by giving the examples of outside sources: operating system security issues of L. Xing et al., “Unauthorized Cross-App Resource Access on MAC OSX and iOS,”, memory corruption attacks of E. Schwartz et al., “Q: Exploit Hardening Made Easy,”, etc. These logical series can build stronger relationships to the ethos and pathos to make their writing more effective.

This article gives a synopsis of threats to the mobile devices and the data existing in them and the available defenses. It classifies seven different types of threats on mobile devices and then it discusses about the precautions that can be taken to avoid these threats. It recommends how to prioritize the different threats and defenses.

The stages are divided in 3 parts - Software, Hardware, and processing which will have their advantages and disadvantages... Introduction on Mobile Devices security – When it comes to security, most mobile devices are a target waiting to be attacked.

There is a running joke in the geeky realm of our society that says there are two types of people in the world, those who use iPhones and those who use Androids.

Smartphone Pentest Framework (SPF) is another useful Android application tool. This application tool was created by Bulb Security. The Smartphone Pentest Framework (SPF) basically allows the user to access the security of other smartphones in the area. This application is a open source security tool and this application is designed to help users in assessing or evaluate the security in smartphones in the vicinity. It is basically created to target

Cyber-criminals are creatively disguising apps as useful tools that will actually later collect and distribute personal data. This creativity is used in veiling the intent behind these malicious apps in an effort to distract, disrupt and destroy. Part of

Currently, half of all U.S. mobile subscribers own a Smartphone. This rapid evolution in Smartphone adoption is due in grant part to the multiple services these devices can provide [1]. However, checking email, using GPS navigation, streaming video and many other services depend on Internet connectivity [2]. We have discovered that the majority of Smartphone’s can be easily denied of their

Introduction Nowadays, we are currently in the era of technology and people increasingly use technology in a day-to-day activity, for instance, smart watch, mobile application, GPS or in-vehicle infotainment. Therefore, there are a lot of interactions stemming from those applications towards users, which notify them when applications need to convey the message. In this research, we argue that mobile operating system should be responsible for managing user attention as a resource. As the current operating system uses permission-based models, which enables application to incessantly interrupt users and then allow users to make decision whether they would like to deny or not based on their circumstance. The operating system should use their valuable resource, in which OS incorporates with diverse kinds of applications and information on mobile’s users, to predict the right decision of each interaction based on the user’s current activity. However, there are many key challenges in implementing this notion as well, which will be expounded in this paper.

Consequently, mobile devices carry a lot of personal data and, if stolen, that data can be more important than the loss of the device. Most of the works on mobile devices security have focused on physical aspects and/or access control, which do not protect the private data on a stolen device that is in the post authentication state. Mobile devices have evolved and experienced a greatsuccess over the last few years . Such devicesare capable of performing sophisticated tasks

4.3 Security Requirements for Mobile Operating Systems. It is necessary to establish what type of security requirements need an Operating System on the modern mobile phones, considering the risk existing for the final users. According to different specialists (Ahmad et al. 2013), the minimum requirements could be: 4.3.1 Application Sandboxing. It

10) Enhanced Security As users add different apps to their mobile devices the higher the risk becomes of the device getting prone to security breaches. The increase in the efforts to make
