The Evolution of Android Malware and Android Analysis Techniques (2017, methodology): “Dex ﬁles have also been decompiled and analyzed to track the ﬂow of intents in interprocess communications (IPC), also known as inter-component communications (ICC) [Yang et al. 2015; Li et al. 2015], and to aid smart stimulation [Mahmood et al. 2014].”
A Survey of App Store Analysis for Software Engineering (2017, neutral): “[127], Huang et al.”
Static analysis of android apps: A systematic literature review (2017, methodology): “The associated tool has been open-sourced and many other approaches [35, 36, 37, 38, 7] have leveraged it to perform more extensive analysis.”
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.”
Obfuscation-Resilient Privacy Leak Detection for Mobile Apps Through Differential Analysis (2017, methodology): “Further approaches include EdgeMiner [9], which addresses the issue of reconstructing implicit control flow transitions, and Amandroid [44] and IccTA [25], which deal with inter-component instead of just intra-component data leaks.”
