International Journal of Information and Computer Security (IJICS), Vol. 17, No. 1/2, 2022

Abstract: Android's security is one of the hot research topics in the current days. This is mainly due to the leakage of user's privacy information from third-party apps on mobile. Even after the permission model defined by Android we all are witnessing leakage of our critical information. This is mainly due to: 1) the permission model is proportionally coarse granular; 2) insufficient knowledge of user makes him approve over-claim permission mistakenly. Henceforth this paper focuses on recognising dangerous over-claim permission. This starts with describing the permission model, over-claim permission, and some of the dangerous over-claim permission. This paper specifically proposes an algorithm to detect the signature of dangerous permission incorporated during the upgrading version of third-party software.
