This SpringerBrief explains the emerging cyber threats that
undermine Android application security. It further explores the
opportunity to leverage the cutting-edge semantics and
context-aware techniques to defend against such threats, including
zero-day Android malware, deep software vulnerabilities, privacy
breach and insufficient security warnings in app descriptions. The
authors begin by introducing the background of the field,
explaining the general operating system, programming features, and
security mechanisms. The authors capture the semantic-level
behavior of mobile applications and use it to reliably detect
malware variants and zero-day malware. Next, they propose an
automatic patch generation technique to detect and block dangerous
information flow. A bytecode rewriting technique is used to confine
privacy leakage. User-awareness, a key factor of security risks, is
addressed by automatically translating security-related program
semantics into natural language descriptions. Frequent behavior
mining is used to discover and compress common semantics. As a
result, the produced descriptions are security-sensitive,
human-understandable and concise.By covering the background,
current threats, and future work in this field, the brief is
suitable for both professionals in industry and advanced-level
students working in mobile security and applications. It is
valuable for researchers, as well.
