Android security assessment: A review, taxonomy and research gap study

摘要: Abstract Security threats are escalating exponentially posing a serious challenge to mobile platforms, specifically Android. In recent years the number of attacks has not only increased but each attack become more damaging platform. Therefore, it is important develop stringent counter-measures defend systems. Although in last few significant research progress seen field detection and mitigation Android security, yet numerous challenges gaps still exist. This paper presents comprehensive sound taxonomy review state-of-the-art approaches used security. We have highlighted trends patterns different analysis approaches, identified key aspects terms objectives, techniques, code representations, tools frameworks used, etc. enumerated areas for future work. To carry out this study, proper systematic literature process followed results nearly 200 publications been comprehended based on security aspects.
