Han-Jae Yoon and Man-Hee Lee

Abstract: As Android malware continues to grow, automated analysis using the virtual environment is very necessary. TaintDroid is an efficient tool that allows tainting analysis to monitor whether key information is leaked to the outside. TaintDroid is expected to detect apps that leak SMS, phone logs and contact information but in our tests it failed to do so. In this study, we explained the reason and proposed a simple solution.
