“…In the research paper Yao et al [7], the authors measure battery parameters like voltage, temperature and battery power while evaluating encryption algorithms. In the research paper Weiss et al [8] measured system parameters, battery voltage, CPU utilization, network communications for individual apps to detect malicious code. They measured network communication and analyses using tcpdump whether communication performed is secure or not, ratio of incoming traffic to outgoing traffic and third party traffic.…”

Android is one of the most popular mobile operating system (OS). Android is currently developed by the Google and other developers. It is an open source OS, based on the Linux kernel. Android can be used on smartphones, tablets, smartwatches and other devices. Android supports different types of applications, hardwares and firmwares. The Android operating system has different flavors and versions due to its open nature. This can lead to security and privacy concerns. Google Play Store is the most popular online app store for Android. As of 2015, more than 1.6 million applications have been listed on the Google Play Store [1].In this project, I develop 'SecuFone: Android Security Advisor' an Android application. SecuFone evaluates the security of the overall system and provides advisory (recommendation) to improve their security. It evaluates security by using a hierarchical system. Hierarchical system uses fuzzy logic to provide users with the generalized score based on the metrics. The recommendations and score generated by the application helps users to enhance their privacy and security of their devices.

“…As our dependency on smartphones rises, so ensures our experience to security threats. Hence, the security level of apps downloaded on our smartphones must be a priority for us because Applications represent the largest security and privacy risk to a device and user's data [32]. For this purpose, users tend to evaluate the app's security level primitively by using some risk indicators such as the developer's reputation, the number of downloads of the application, the app rating, and the user reviews.…”

Considering that application security is an important aspect, especially nowadays with the increase in technology and the number of fraudsters. It should be noted that determining the security of an application is a difficult task, especially since most fraudsters have become skilled and professional at manipulating people and stealing their sensitive data. Therefore, we pay attention to trying to spot insecurity apps, by analyzing user feedback on the Google Play platform and using sentiment analysis to determine the apps level of security. As it is known, user reviews reflect their experiments and experiences in addition to their feelings and satisfaction with the application or not. But unfortunately, not all of these reviews are real, and as is known, the fake reviews do not reflect the sincerity of feelings, so we have been keen in our work to filter the reviews to be the result is accurate and correct. This study is useful for both users wanting to install android apps and for developers interested in app optimization.

“…Risk can be assessed using a hierarchical method of trust assessment. This allows users to combine trust indicators and to check the metric of trust for each component of the mobile system [12]. The Russian approach described in the standards also uses this principle [13].…”

“…In Russia, legal norms and regulatory standards are divided and inconsistent, that are lead to ineffective information security. The various ways of ensuring information security are offered, for example, by confirming each software change [9], flexible phone settings [10], testing installed applications on the phone [11], by checking the trust metric for each component of the mobile system [12]. Basically, regulation is provided at the level of technology development through the use of mandatory standards.…”

This paper studies the issue the information security for smartphone users in Russia. The report analyses the regulations the state uses to prevent undeclared functionality and malicious programs in mobile phones in Russia; the law enforcement practice in this area; the responsibility of legal entities, officials and persons for non-compliance with the requirements for standardization, ensuring information security and violation of declaration of conformity. The paper develops proposals to improve state regulation of undeclared functionality of mobile devices providing the collection of information, including confidential data. The report discusses specific ethical issues related to privacy, including matters relating to compensation for damage resulting from the leakage of personal information and develops proposals for legal ensuring the information security of mobile phone users. The report first outlines the main actors, terms and concepts used in the report. Second the standards for mobile phone developers, although there is no guarantee of complete information security. In this case, the peculiarity of Russia is that standards used in the field of information security are voluntary. Third how law enforcement agencies protect the user community. In this case there is a potential danger that this may entail uncontrolled access of government agencies to confidential data.
