Analysis of the Permission System of Android
The Android permissions system is a key security feature that is used to control the access of applications to certain resources and functions of the device. Android offers a wide range of permissions that can be requested by applications, including access to the camera, location, contacts, storage and more. Users have control over these permissions and can decide whether or not to grant an application permission to access certain resources. The permission system has changed over the years to address new threats and meet the need for more privacy. The report shows how the permission system has changed over different Android versions and how the permission system is technically structured. It also explains available studies in the literature that evaluate the security aspects of the permission system.
