Abstract While many research efforts have been around auditing individual android apps,
the security issues related to the interaction among multiple apps are less
studied. Due to the hidden nature of Inter-App communications, few existing
security tools are able to detect such related vulnerable behaviors. This paper
proposes to perform overall security auditing using dynamic analysis techniques.
We focus on data leakage as it is one of the most common vulnerabilities for
Android applications. We present an app auditing system AppWalker, which uses
concolic execution on a set of apps. We use static Inter-App taint analysis… More >
