ABSTRACT
As Android is one of the most popular mobile open-source platforms, it is very important to ensure the security and privacy of Android apps. Android has an authorization system that allows developers to announce their applications requiring essential services, and when running such applications, users need to comply with these requirements. Users frequently download applications, giving them infinite permissions easily without thinking about the impact on their privacy. In this paper, we analyze 222 applications manually to grant these permissions to see how they are compatible with user privacy depending on many criteria.
