Abstract

With the widespread use of the Smartphone, the security of data stored in a Smartphone has reached to an utmost importance to all of us. Installation of every Android app asks for some critical permission to access our critical files and we have to accept the permissions in order to install that application. We propose a novel approach of enhanced security framework which can be integrated with the existing Android Security Framework to make Android more secure and to keep track of the files accessed by any of the vulnerable apps downloaded from different sources on the web. The proposed enhanced security framework enhances the security of Android File System by restricting the apps whose behavior matches with the malware. A novel approach to secure the data on Smartphone's using cryptographic Algorithms is also discussed in this paper.
