Presented by Jason Hong, Carnegie Mellon University

ABSTRACT:
Many smartphone apps collect sensitive data about people, in a manner that many users find very surprising. How can we help everyday people in understanding the behaviors of their apps?

In this talk, Jason Hong presents three things. The first is results of interviews and surveys of app developers, probing their attitudes and behaviors towards privacy. The second is PrivacyGrade.org, a site that combines crowdsourcing and static analysis to analyze the behavior of 1M Android apps. The third is Gort, a tool that combines heuristics, crowdsourcing, and dynamic analysis to help analysts understand the behavior of a given app.

Since the original presentation, Android M launched a new permission model that Hong described as «offer[ing] a lot more privacy protection for people, primarily by making it easier to see what data is being requested as it is being used.»
