We present an implementation of AdhocPairing, an audiobased secure pairing application for Android mobile devices. The application implements recent advances in audio-based pairing utilising Fuzzy cryptography. In particular, it generates audio fingerprints from ambient audio of weakly synchronised devices and extracts identical, arbitrary length secure binary keys. Synchronisation in audio sam...

In this research, a prototype enterprise monitoring system for Android smartphones was developed to continuously collect many data sets of interest to incident responders, security auditors, proactive security monitors, and forensic investigators. Many of the data sets covered were not found in other available enterprise monitoring tools. The prototype system neither requires root privileges no...

In recent years, Android based smartphones have become popular. As a feature of a smart phone, much information for identifying a user and information linked to user’s privacy is saved in a terminal. For this feature, many malwares targeting privacy information are developed. Many security mechanisms are provided in Android for such malwares. However, it is difficult for users to judge the avai...

RV-Android is a new freely available open source runtime library for monitoring formal safety properties on Android. RV-Android uses the commercial RV-Monitor technology as its core monitoring library generation technology, allowing for the verification of safety properties during execution and operating entirely in userspace with no kernel or operating system modifications required. RV-Android...

Application marketplaces are the main software distribution mechanism for modern mobile devices but are also emerging as a viable alternative to brick-and-mortar stores for personal computers. While most application marketplaces require applications to be cryptographically signed by their developers, in Android marketplaces, self-signed certificates are common, thereby offering very limited aut...

This work deals with the development of android-based financial studio, an integrated application for calculating tax, pension, zakat, and loan. Financial studio can facilitate employers of any department and other individuals. The application is developed using MIT app inventor-based android platform. The financial studio has four computational modules, namely: (i) tax, (ii) pension, (iii) zak...

Personalisation in smart phones requires adaptability to dynamic context based on application usage and sensor inputs. Current personalisation approaches do not provide sufficient adaptability to dynamic and unexpected context. This paper introduces the Android Genetic Programming Framework (AGP) as a personalisation method for smart phones. AGP considers the specific design challenges of smart...

This paper discusses the implementation of protecting user's data on mobile device based on Android platform. The mobile platform surpasses computers in its popularity in many aspects of one daily routine. Protection of data is one of the basic security feature of each operating system. Android platform raise its protection with every new version of the system. This paper covers the new approac...
