学术报告简介

 

Improving Security and Privacy of Android Ad Libraries

Recent years have witnessed incredible growth in the popularity andprevalence of smart phones and their application markets. Mobile applications may have a direct purchasing cost or be free butad-supported. Unlike in- bowser ads, the security and privacy implications of ads in Android applications have not been thoroughly explored. We compare the similarities and differences of in-browser ads and in-app ads. We examine the effect on user privacy of popular Android ad providers by reviewing their use of permissions. Worryingly, several ad libraries take advantage of permissions beyond the required and optional ones listed in their documentation, including dangerous permissions like camera, write calendar, and write contacts. Further, we discover the insecure use of Android's JavaScript extension mechanism in several ad libraries. We show that users can be tracked by a network sniffer across ad providers and by an ad provider across applications. Finally, we discuss several possible solutions to the privacy issues identified above.
