In the current era of smart devices, mobile phones are rapidly emerged and increasingly being used as primary computing, communication device with sensing capabilities and running more performance-intensive task. Secure and healthy working environment of this smarty is required to be maintained. Though sufficient peripheral protection mechanisms are described, authentication and access control are not alone sufficient to provide integral protection against intrusions. This raises the need for smart analysis techniques, particularly in application code, to materialize. There are many security detective and preventive solutions available in market, but still, this research field is immature. Majority of solutions provided in the area of smartphone handles specific issue for particular device and environment. As prevention is better than detection and cure, intended to work in the said direction, we define a framework aimed to help, identify and warn users for the resources going to acquire by the applications downloaded to install on smart devices and the risk behind resource acquisition/access. That way, it will try to intimate the users for the resources going to acquire in future, at runtime by application processes directly or indirectly, can uncover the malicious intention of resource access hidden in the application. Having this in mind, our solution will establish a strong footstep in device security in the form of preventive notification of alarm. For the same, we focused on Android-based smart devices looking to the popularity, availability, and download statistics of Android app, also due to the open Android’s philosophy, benign, or malignant applications can be published easily with limited controls; Android is having very high risk against security. |
