| Summary: | System security of portable devices like hand phone plays an important role in the
modern era for protecting the sensitive information. Android, as the most widely used
mobile operating system, is given considerable attention by the public.
LogicDroid is customized Android OS aimed to make improvement on Android
security mechanism to prevent privilege escalation attack. The main idea of
LogicDroid is adding a run-time monitor to detect privilege escalation attacks based
on the policy specified by end users. To update the policy in LogicDroid monitor, the
XML format of the policy needs to be created and stored on the smartphone. This
process is error-prone and tedious for normal users.
To improve the usability, a policy editor was developed in this Final Year Project to
enable the automatic updating of policy through graphical user interface. |
