The mobile processor compares the list of the vulnerable ICC paths to intents sent by the components of the two or more applications and identifies a potential unsecure intent that matches one of the list of the vulnerable ICC paths. A list of the vulnerable ICC paths is stored in memory of the mobile device. The mobile device or the optional remote computing device identifies vulnerable inter-component communication (ICC) paths between components of the two or more applications installed on the mobile operating system by analyzing files associated with each of the two or more applications. The mobile device or the optional remote computing device receives and/or identifies two or more applications that are currently installed or intended to be installed on the mobile operating system. The mobile device executing a mobile operating system. The mobile device includes a mobile processor, an input component, and an output component. The system includes at least one mobile device and optionally, a remote computing device that is remote from the mobile device. In another aspect, a system for providing increased security in a mobile operating system on a mobile device is provided.

SEALANT is distinguished from the prior art because (1) it simultaneously prevents multiple types of Android inter-app attacks-with the current implementation focusing on intent spoofing, unauthorized intent receipt, and privilege escalation, (2) it extends the detection coverage via a novel combination of static data-flow analysis and compositional ICC pattern matching, (3) it causes fewer false alarms than existing techniques through a finer-grained characterization of ICCs, (4) it supports compositional analysis scaling to a number of apps, and (5) it integrates static detection with runtime monitoring and control of vulnerable ICC paths. This technique is referred to as “SEALANT” (Security for End-users of Android via Light-weight ANalysis Techniques), SEALANT identifies vulnerable ICC paths between a given set of apps, inspects each intent sent via those paths at runtime to detect potential attacks, and enables end-users to block the intent on-the-fly. In at least one aspect, a technique that aims to enable ordinary end-users to protect against inter-app attacks is provided. While certain techniques, combine vulnerability detection with runtime protection to aid ordinary end-users, they also suffer from potentially large numbers of false alarms.Īccordingly, there is a need for improved methods and systems that provide security in mobile operating systems on mobile devices. Additionally, these techniques assume a degree of expertise in Android security,. Meanwhile, the runtime protection techniques suffer from acknowledged frequent “false alarms”, because of the coarse granularity at which they capture ICC information. Moreover, these analyses - have been shown to experience scalability problems when applied on large numbers of apps. The state-of-the-art techniques, , employ data-flow analyses that rely on lists of frequently used Android API methods, but tend to overlook ICC vulnerabilities caused by custom methods. However, existing detection techniques target only certain types of inter-app attacks -, and/or do not support compositional analysis of multiple apps. A large volume of research has focused on ICC vulnerabilities in Android,. In these attacks, a malicious app sends and receives intents in a way that appears as if those are ordinary message exchanges. Inter-component communication (ICC) via intent exchange can expose a vulnerable surface to several security attacks, including intent spoofing, unauthorized intent receipt, and privilege escalation. In Android's communication model components in a single app or across multiple apps communicate by exchanging messages called intents. In at least one aspect, the present invention is related to methods and systems for providing increased security in a mobile operating system on a mobile device, such as a smart phone.
