Cassandra : Towards a Certifying App Store
نویسندگان
چکیده
Modern mobile devices store an abundance of information. However, users do not yet obtain satisfactory support for controlling what applications do with their personal data. In this article, we propose Cassandra, a tool that allows users to verify Android apps against their security needs before installation. Cassandra implements the core functionality of a conventional app store, augmented with the possibility to verify user-defined security policies. Cassandra’s security analysis is fully automatically performed on a server. The analysis results are communicated to a mobile device using the proof-carrying code paradigm.

Given current technology trends towards fast storage devices and the need for increasing data processing density, it is important to examine key-value store designs that reduce CPU overhead. However, current key-value stores are still designed mostly for hard disk drives (HDDs) that exhibit a large difference between sequential and random access performance, and they incur high CPU overheads. I...
