Android System Security Evaluation

Android System Security Evaluation

mca php project topics 2019 computer science

This demonstration presents an application for a system security score evaluation. The security score represents overall security level of the Android OS based device. The proposed application is based on the library that uses standard Android OS API and Google SafetyNet library. We followed up modular approach that allows to use our library independently from our application in any stock Android OS version 5.0 and above. Application evaluates overall security level, gives an explanation of the each parameter, gives advices how to improve overall security of the device, and allows to simulate the evaluation that shows how each parameter affects the security level.

In this demo an application for an Android OS system security evaluation is presented. Not all smartphone users are experts in cyber-security. They need guidance how to improve their privacy and smartphone security. https://codeshoppy.com/php-projects-titles-topics.html Despite various resources provide advices how to keep an Android device secure [1], a lot of users do not know about them or do not follow them. Our application includes these recommendations and expands them. It analyses system parameters for the security evaluation and gives advices how the device’s security can be improved. Google Play Store offers various applications that verify security level of the device and provide recommendations how to increase this level. Majority of these applications analyze installed applications only and act as antivirus scanner. Some applications take into account local parameters of a system. “Avast antivirus” [2], apart of an application analysis checks if a user permits an application installation from unknown sources. “Lookout Security and Antivirus” [3], in addition to an application analysis, checks if a system was “rooted”. “Stethoscope” project from Netflix [4] evaluates the status of various system parameters, such as root access, screen lock, firewall, and storage encryption. mca php project topics 2019 computer science “Secure update scanner” [5] checks the system for the security patches, unknown sources and the OS version. “Sophos mobile security” [6] examines the Android system for unknown sources, USB debugging, screen lock, and storage encryption. Our application evaluates system security using more comprehensive set of the system parameters. We use a modular approach, which allows to embed an evaluation method into an independent library that can be used by other applications on a stock Android OS version 5.0 and above.
