Abstract: As the openness of the Android platform lead to the privacy leaks and property damage of users, a novel detection system based on permission analysis for Android applications is proposed in this paper, which can be incorporated with computer terminals and mobile terminals. The proposed detection system can not only detect the whole permission information of applications but also help users check all the applications possess sensitive permission. In addition, the detection system provides secondary judgement so that the information and property security of the users are guaranteed.
Through the security mechanism of Android, based on the potential safety hazard analysis of the phenomenon, this paper designs and developes a system which could dectect the uninstalled APK files and the installed APP application. This system can detect the application software for the accurate access number and detailed list of permissions, and through the method of establishing the database for each authority and supplemented by security problems can be caused in detail, to understand instructions, so that ordinary users without professional knowledge can also understand the right to apply for a role, improve safety awareness application the user of the program. In addition, the system also provides user application screening for sensitive permissions, which lists all the applications that uses the sensitive permissions, so as to assist the user to check the malicious software.
