Uninstallable by Design: The Role of Pre-installed Apps in Android’s Security Landscape

Type: article

Abstract: The competitive smartphone market is keen to prevent its intellectual property from being analysed by competitors and the public. As a result, most smartphones are locked when distributed, and anti-reversing techniques are widely used. Consequently, millions of users use smartphones daily without a clear understanding of the software’s functionality and purpose. We developed a novel framework, FirmwareDroid, to analyse the security of mobile device firmware.
