USE STATIC ANALYSIS TO PROTECT USERS DATA FROM MALICIOUS ANDROID APPLICATIONS

Abstract

There is no doubt about the massive technology nowadays that affect our everyday life. One of these fronts is the rapid evolution within smart phones and their applications which simplifies our lives and our daily tasks. By August 2013 there were 900,000 application in Google’s Play Store for android devices, which shows the wide spread of smart phone apps. This wide spreading of apps leads to the creation of numerous stores that allow apps downloading, most of these stores don’t have the systems to test these apps which results in stores being filled with malicious software. This System/App is providing an appropriate solution for this type of problems mentioned before, we illustrates the creation of a system that includes two parts, and the first is the client which runs on the android smart phone. The second is a system that tests apps and classifies them as safe, warning or dangerous. After the executing and testing of the system it becomes possible to download apps from all available stores based on results, therefore then the system users can decide whether to install the application or not. .
