As you said this is java based program so you know very well about java. Java is the biggest vulnerability for US Technology. Android is an operating system based on the Linux kernel. It is the most widely used and popular operating system among Smartphones and portable devices. Its programmable and open nature attracts attackers to take undue advantage. Android platform allows developers to freely access and modify source code. But at the same time it increases the security issue. A user is likely to download and install malicious applications written by software hackers. This paper focuses on understanding and analyzing the vulnerabilities present in android platform. In this paper firstly we study the android architecture; analyze the existing threats and security weaknesses. Then we identify various exploit mitigation techniques to mitigate known vulnerabilities. A detailed analysis will help us to identify the existing loopholes and it will give strategic direction to make android operating system more secure.
ANDROID SECURITY USING EXPLOIT MITIGATION TECHNIQUES :
The main target for implementing Android security is to protect the user data, system resources, and providing application isolation. For this, Android has timely updated its security controls with each patch and every version it has released. The earlier versions of Android had very little or no security features to protect against advanced attacks because the development was still on and also very few people had android devices.
CONCLUSION :
After studying in detail the various Android vulnerabilities, it’s clear how dangerous its impact can be. To tackle the number of increasing vulnerabilities, Android must timely introduce new security enforcement and exploit mitigation techniques. The kernel of Linux OS itself is so vulnerable that every week new exploit is discovered. The vulnerability fixes released for these should be patched in Android's Linux Kernel as well to avoid replicating the same vulnerabilities again. To stay away from malware's, users need to be aware about the importance of looking over the permissions granted to an app during installation time and to download apps from the official Google play store. In the coming years, we see Android to be a very secure OS, which the users can trust enough to do even their banking transactions from smart phones.
