Reliable Third-Party Library Detection in Android and its Security Applications (2016, background): “For instance, a wide range of security-related analyses studied apps for privacy and security issues and raised awareness for various problem areas, including privacy leaks [12, 2, 42, 13, 3], permission usage [43], dynamic code loading [28], SSL/TLS”
*droid (2016, methodology): “This ultimately leads to tools like FlowDroid [Fritz et al. 2014], Amandroid [Wei et al. 2014], and DroidSafe [Gordon et al. 2015], which are precise but not necessarily scalable to large, complex applications or will not run on standard desktop hardware.”
MaMaDroid: Detecting Android Malware by Building Markov Chains of Behavioral Models (2016, background): “Due to its popularity, cyber-criminals have increasingly targeted this ecosystem [17], as malware running on mobile devices can be particularly lucrative – e.g., allowing attackers to defeat two factor authentication [51], [53] or trigger leakage of sensitive information [27].”
Amandroid: A Precise and General Inter-component Data Flow Analysis Framework for Security Vetting of Android Apps (2014, methodology): “We then experimentally compare Amandroid with two state-of-the-art static analyzers for Android apps: IccTA [34] and DroidSafe [26], and show that Amandroid can address a wider range of security problems due to inter-component communications.”
The Long-Standing Privacy Debate: Mobile Websites vs Mobile Apps (2017, background): “Towards a different direction, in [21] Gordon et al.”
Static analysis of android apps: A systematic literature review (2017, background): “Amandroid [68] 3 3 3 3 DroidSafe [58] 3 3 3 3”
