Efficient Resolution of Security-sensitive Values in Android Using Abstract Interpretation
By:"Dmitrij Petters","Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Department of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science"
Published on 2014 by

In this thesis I present a design for an efficient and sound abstract interpretation-based Value Analysis which calculates field values of security-relevant Android API class instances. The analysis is an important component of DroidSafe, an Android malware detection system designed to prove important properties of sensitive program behaviors before the programs appear in an application marketplace. The resolved program values provide important context for other DroidSafe analyses and the generated application summary, improving their precision. This in turn helps a trusted analyst avoid false positives and determine whether a particular application is malicious in a shorter amount of time.

When the capabilities of HTML5 are combined with CSS3 and JavaScript, web application developers have an opportunity to develop compelling mobile applications using familiar tools. Not only is it possible to build mobile web apps that feel as good as native apps, but to also write an application once and have it run a variety of different devices. While the HTML5 specification is still evolving, there is a lot that can be used right now to build mobile web apps. Mobile web apps are now starting to provide many of the features that were once only available to native-language-based apps in Java, Objective-C, etc. Pro Android Web Apps teaches developers already familiar with web application development, how to code and structure a web app for use on the Android mobile platform. Understand both the why and how of mobile web app development, focusing on the Android platform. Learn how to structure mobile web apps through a number of practical, real-world application examples.

Get a real picture of the status of HTML5 on Android and other mobile devices, including some things to watch out for when building your own applications. Understand the capabilities of the web application stack, and how to complement those with native bridging frameworks such as PhoneGap to access native features of the device. Gain an understanding of the different UI frameworks that are available for building mobile web apps. Learn how to include mapping and leverage location-based services in mobile web apps to create engaging mobile experiences. Enable social integration with your Android web app and gain access to millions of potential users.
