Abstract
The data leaks problem is a security key issue in the worldwide connection, communication and interoperability functions among the huge number of mobile devices, especially for apps where sensitive data are exchanged. In order to tackle this dangerous problem, an innovative and powerful tool, named Android JADAL (JAva DAta Leak), has been developed based on hybrid approach which combines both static and dynamic code analysis techniques. This tool has been validated successfully by means of significant tests carried out on sensitive data leak applications. During the test, the user receives notification when sensible data is caught during the execution of apps. The design and testing activities have been conducted in cooperation with the Mathematics and Computer Science Department of Catania University.
