An Android Application Sandbox system for suspicious software detection (2010, background): “However, despite the fact that Android is a young mobile OS if compared to Apple’s iOS or Nokia’s Symbian, several publications discuss Android-specific security mechanisms, involving overall security assessment of the platform [5, 31], malware detection [29], application permission analysis [8], an”
A Study of Android Application Security (2011, background): “We search for non-secure coding practices [17, 10], including: writing sensitive information to logs, unprotected broadcasts of information, IPC null checks, injection attacks on intent actions, and delegation.”
SCanDroid: Automated Security Certification of Android (2009, background): “A related line of work [9, 8, 12] reports a logic-based tool, Kirin, for determining whether the permissions declared by an application satisfy a certain global safety policy.”

Automating GUI testing for Android applications (2011, background): “Enck, Ongtang, and McDaniel’s [20] describe Kirin, a logic-based tool for Android that ensures permissions needed by a certain Android application are met by global safety invariants.”
Apex: extending Android permission model and enforcement with user-defined runtime constraints (2010, background): “A conjunction of Kirin [7] with our extended package installer may remedy this problem by analyzing the constraints and permissions to verify that broader security goals are not being violated.”
