Abstract

There is no doubt about the massive technology nowadays that affects 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. We propose to solve this problem by developing an application, which is a system that works on the smart phones that use the Android operating system, the application examines the permission of applications installed in the phone and alerts the user and then classifies the applications into three values that show the status of the application (safe - medium - dangerous) Three colors are clear (green - yellow - red). After the application of the system and testing it became possible for the user to download applications from all available stores and ensure the integrity of its powers after installation, and depending on the result extracted from the system, the user can decide whether to install the application or not install.
