摘要:Android based smartphone users' privacy has been a hot issue recently in public concerns due to various instances of security attacks and privacy leakage on Android platform. Android existing security has been built upon a permission based mechanism which restricts critical resources accesses of third-party Android applications. This permission based security system is widely assessed for its major control of application permissions and critical management of permissions by developers, marketers, and end- users. Considering the critical management of permissions some previous research papers proposed automatic permission management tools. But those automatic tools never assessed end user's expectation about permissions perfectly. This paper presents a tool, SDroid (Secured anDroid) that assesses the best permissions management based on end users opinion. SDroid evaluates requested permissions and allow users selectively grant permissions considering his/her knowledge level depending on the opinion.
