Android application privacy protection mechanism based on virtual machine bytecode injection by Yubo SONG, Qi CHEN, Rui SONG, Aiqun HU

“…To solve the abuse of the Android application permission mechanism, a method of Android application access control based on virtual machine bytecode injection technology was proposed.The security policy in the form of virtual machine bytecode was generated according to the user’s security requirement and usage scenario, and injected into the coding unit of Android application that involves dangerous permission request and sensitive data access, to realize dynamic application behavior control.Tests on applications crawled from four mainstream domestic App stores show that the method can effectively intercept sensitive API calls and dangerous permission requests of legitimate App programs and implement control according to pre-specified security policies.Also, after injecting virtual machine bytecode, most of the App program operation is not affected by the injected code, and the robustness is guaranteed.The proposed method has a good universality.…”

Inter-domain routing security mechanism for crossing autonomous system alliance by Ling-jing KONG, Hua-xin ZENG, Jun DOU, Yao LI

“…Through studying and analyzing SE-BGP (security enhanced BGP),it was found that it couldn’t validate the cross-alliance AS (autonomous system) and defense the self-launched active attack.To solve the security problems,two-layer cross-alliance hierarchical structure CAHS (cross-alliance hierarchical structure) was designed.Based on CAHS,using the idea of passport visa and the features of AdHASH (additive hash),a cross-alliance BGP security mechanism SCA-BGP (secure crossing alliance for BGP) was proposed.The mechanism has higher security,which is able to effectively validate the identities and behavior authorization of the cross-alliance AS as well as the message carried by them.The experiment results show that SCA-BGP can effectively reduce the certificate scale and extra time overhead to get better scalability and convergence performance.…”
