Abstract
Android being the most popular mobile platform with nearly 80 % of global market share, attracts the mobile application developers to target end users for their private information such as contacts, GPS data, call logs, sending premium messages etc. through the use of application permissions. Android permissions are selected by the application developer and there is no check on whether asked permission is relevant for the application or not. Paper proposes a methodology for identifying the over privileged applications and then reducing the set of permissions used by these applications. The proposed work demonstrates that an over privileged application can be used with reduced set of permissions and thus successfully denying access to user’s sensitive information.
