This is book offers in-depth analysis of security vulnerabilities in different mobile operating systems. It provides methodology and solutions for handling Android malware and vulnerabilities and transfers the latest knowledge in machine learning and deep learning models towards this end. Further, it presents a comprehensive analysis of software vulnerabilities based on different technical parameters such as causes, severity, techniques, and software systems’ type. Moreover, the book also presents the current state of the art in the domain of software threats and vulnerabilities. This would help analyze various threats that a system could face, and subsequently, it could guide the securityengineer to take proactive and cost-effective countermeasures. Security threats are escalating exponentially, thus posing a serious challenge to mobile platforms. Android and iOS are prominent due to their enhanced capabilities and popularity among users. Therefore, it is important to compare these two mobile platforms based on security aspects. Android proved to be more vulnerable compared to iOS. The malicious apps can cause severe repercussions such as privacy leaks, app crashes, financial losses (caused by malware triggered premium rate SMSs), arbitrary code installation, etc. Hence, Android security is a major concern amongst researchers as seen in the last few years. This book provides an exhaustive review of all the existing approaches in a structured format. The book also focuses on the detection of malicious applications that compromise users' security and privacy, the detection performance of the different program analysis approach, and the influence of different input generators during static and dynamic analysis on detection performance. This book presents a novel method using an ensemble classifier scheme for detecting malicious applications, which is less susceptible to the evolution of the Android ecosystem and malware compared to previous methods. The book also introduces an ensemble multi-class classifier scheme to classify malware into known families. Furthermore, we propose a novel framework of mapping malware to vulnerabilities exploited using Android malware’s behavior reports leveraging pre-trained language models and deep learning techniques. The mapped vulnerabilities can then be assessed on confidentiality, integrity, and availability on different Android components and sub-systems, and different layers.

Seminar paper from the year 2018 in the subject Computer Science - IT-Security, grade: 1,0, Technical University of Munich, course: Seminar Mobile Application Security, language: English, abstract: Smartphones are being used as the preferred device for as many things as possible in today's world. This is why having secure phones that are resilient against attacks targeting their users’ data, becomes more and more important. This paper tries to assess what measures device vendors have taken to ensure those attacks will not be successful. Because the market is mostly divided between Google’s Android and Apple's iOS, we put our focus on those two operating systems and compare their respective security models. Additionally this comparison will be evaluating how those models have changed over time since the beginning of the smartphone era around 2010. The last part of this analysis will take a look at a different view on smartphones, the perspective of so-called "power users": Those are people that do not only use their smartphone for downloading some apps and surfing the Internet but rather want to do some lower-level customization to the operating system, by rooting their Android device or jailbreaking their iPhone. This process of gaining full privileges on the phone not only creates advantages for the user but can also have rather negative implications on the device's security. How exactly does this affect the protections implemented by the vendor?
