- An Investigation Of Location Privacy In Mobile Applications
| Student Projects
Context
Recently, several news articles showed that many mobile applications collect location data from their users without their consent. This is a severe violation of privacy, as the location data can be used to track the user’s movements and habits. Therefore, it is essential to investigate the location privacy of mobile applications to understand the extent of the problem.
- Creating A Graph Dataset For The Android Framework
| Student Projects
Context
Static- and Dynamic Taint Analysis is a technique to track the flow of information in software. However, the analysis of the Android Framework is challenging because of the complexity of the framework. Therefore, it is essential to create a graph dataset of the Android Framework to analyze the flow of sensitive information in the framework. Currently, there is no dataset available that represents the Android Framework as a graph. Aim of this project is to create a graph dataset of the Android Framework that represents the code in a structure that can effectively be queried for taint analysis.
- Detecting Third-Party Libraries in Android Applications at Runtime
| Student Projects
Context
Nowadays, we built software that includes third-party libraries to speed up the development process. However, these libraries can introduce security vulnerabilities into the software. Therefore, it is essential to detect the third-party libraries in the software to analyze their security implications.
- Developing A Testing Framework for Android Content-Providers
| Student Projects
Context
There exists several tools to automate the testing of open-source Android applications over the User Interface. However, there is a general lack of tools that can automatically test closed-source Android applications and other main components of an app, such as context-providers. In this project, we want to develop an testing framework that can automatically test closed-source Android applications. The focus will be on implementing testing tools for content providers.
