Abstract

Protection for confidentiality and integrity of information is a very critical requirement for many mobile device users. Currently, malicious software on the Android platform often achieve the purpose of privacy theft and malicious chargeback by sending short messages, making phone calls or network communication surreptitiously. In this work we present and implement an Access Control Framework for Android which consists of both mandatory access control (MAC) in the kernel layer and role-based access control (RBAC) in the framework layer. It provides fine-grained access check to control the permissions requested by applications. A friendly security policy manage tool is given for users to define role-based policies for managing applications. Finally, the experiment shows that our system can really help users control applications, block malicious software from the behavior of privacy theft and malicious chargeback.
