Contemporary mobile operating systems fail to prevent such misuse of I/O devices by authorized apps due to lack of binding between users' interactions and accesses to I/O devices performed by these apps ...
In this paper, we propose Aware, a security framework for authorizing app requests to perform operations using I/O devices, which binds app requests with user intentions to make all uses of certain I/O ...
On average, there are 8 requests per minute by processes running apps to request permission to access sensitive resources [36] . 10 The timer is used to support apps that require users to keep pressing ...
