  Abstract

Google Android, which is one of the popular smart phone platforms, employs a security model based on application permissions. This model intends to reduce security threats by protecting inappropriate accesses to system resources from applications, but this model has a few problems. First, permission requested by an application cannot be granted selectively. Second, once the permission has been granted it is maintained until the application is uninstalled. Third, applications may acquire powerful permissions through user ID sharing without any notice to users. In order to overcome these limitations, we designed and implemented a flexible application permission management scheme. The goal of our scheme is to enhance security and user convenience while keeping compatibility to original platform. We also verified the operation of our scheme with real applications on Android emulator.
