@inproceedings { , title = {Mobile App Collusions and Its Cyber Security Implications}, abstract = {© 2016 IEEE. The key focus in securing mobile software systems is substantiality intended in detecting and mitigating vulnerabilities in a single app or apps developed by the same individual. It fails to identify vulnerabilities that arise as a result of interaction or the colluding of multiple apps either from the same or different vendors. The current state-of-the-art also fails to contextualize this in reference to its impact on security and cyber security issues. This paper proposes a solution that makes use of both static and dynamic analysis, to detect and notify device users of such a vulnerability and equips the user with knowledge on inter-app interaction, the misuse of Personal Identifiable Information (PII) and the sharing of other sensitive information without their consent.}, conference = {Proceedings - 3rd IEEE International Conference on Cyber Security and Cloud Computing, CSCloud 2016 and 2nd IEEE International Conference of Scalable and Smart Cloud, SSC 2016}, doi = {10.1109/CSCloud.2016.9}, isbn = {9781509009466}, pages = {178-183}, publicationstatus = {Published}, url = {https://uwe-repository.worktribe.com/output/916498}, keyword = {Computer Science Research Centre, app security, mobile device, app collusion, cybersecurity, Personal Identifiable Information (PII)}, year = {2016}, author = {Arabo, Abdullahi} editor = {Qiu, Meikang and Tao, Lixin and Niu, Jianwei} }
