Android is an application platform for mobile devices. It comprises of the operating system, software framework, and core programs. This platform uses permissions to hide precious information about the user from untrusted apps. However, to install an application, device feature uses permissions that are granted by the user. User has the ability to analyze permissions and abort the setup if the permissions are unfriendly or unrestrained. Android permission analysis schemes show a significant role to fight against these undesirable behaviors of untrusted android apps in the aspect of security and privacy. This survey attempts to deal with the android application permissions that are related security and privacy challenges. It includes various research articles published in computers and security, digital investigation, decision support systems, systems and software security, and information forensics journals in the last 10 years. The survey is based on the following considerations: research issues motivated by the scheme, the methodology used, ability of result analysis conducted, and android features considered for performance evaluation.

Android is an application platform for mobile devices with an advance and moderate frequent feature of operating systems. It includes all software systems, software package frameworks, and core programs. This platform permits to collect and verify important personal information concerning the user/client through untrusted apps. However, to install an application, the device feature uses permissions that are allowed by the user. The user has an attribute to research permissions and aborts the setup if the permissions are unfriendly or unrestricted. Android permission analysis schemes play a major and important role in securing important information and privacy of users from unbearable behaviors of untrusted android permission apps within the aspect of securing purposes. This survey tries to handle and deal with the android permission application permissions related to security and privacy challenges. It includes various research articles published in computers and security, digital investigation, decision support systems, systems and software security, and information forensics journals in the last 10 years. The survey includes the subsequent prior considerations, analysis problems motivated by the theme, the methodology used, the ability of result analysis conducted, and mechanical man options thought-about for performance analysis.

“…It is important to note that some people may use more than one mobile device when participating in BYOD. As Android is the preferred operating system for modern businesses, it is logical that more malware is aimed towards it than its competitors because of its popularity [42,44,48]. Android and Apple iOS have and likely will continue to dominate the market [49,50], thus businesses would benefit from catering security mechanisms to prioritise their unique needs [43].…”

The prevalence and maturity of Bring Your Own Device (BYOD) security along with subsequent frameworks and security mechanisms in Australian organisations is a growing phenomenon somewhat similar to other developed nations. During the COVID-19 pandemic, even organisations that were previously reluctant to embrace BYOD have been forced to accept it to facilitate remote work. The aim of this paper is to discover, through a study conducted using a survey questionnaire instrument, how employees practice and perceive the BYOD security mechanisms deployed by Australian businesses which can help guide the development of future BYOD security frameworks. Three research questions are answered by this study: What levels of awareness do Australian businesses have for BYOD security aspects? How are employees currently responding to the security mechanisms applied by their organisations for mobile devices? What are the potential weaknesses in businesses’ IT networks that have a direct effect on BYOD security? Overall, the aim of this research is to illuminate the findings of these research objectives so that they can be used as a basis for building new and strengthening existing BYOD security frameworks in order to enhance their effectiveness against an ever-growing list of attacks and threats targeting mobile devices in a virtually driven work force.
