Automated Privacy Analysis of the Android API

Supervisor: David Noel Breuer Lucas Becker

Android is the world's most used mobile operating system with many different versions, modified by Google, smartphone manufacturers, and the open source community. This results in countless Android versions on different smartphones. Each of these versions incorporates potential differences in its API, resulting in information that could be used for fingerprinting. In this Master's Thesis, you develop an automated solution to enumerate the Android API and analyze the outcome concerning its potential privacy leakage and fingerprintability. Prerequisites: Familiarity with android internals No fear of the unknown & scientific curiosity ;)
