摘要: Android is the first mass-produced consumer-market open source mobile platform that allows developers to easily create applications and users readily install them. However, giving ability third-party poses serious security concerns. While existing mechanism in a phone user see which resources an application requires, she has no choice but allow access all requested permissions if wishes use applications. There way of granting some denying others. Moreover, there restricting usage based on runtime constraints such as location device or number times resource been previously used. In this paper, we present Apex -- policy enforcement framework for selectively grant well impose resources. We also describe extended package installer set these through easy-to-use interface. Our implemented minimal change code base backward compatible with current mechanism.
