Nowadays, the smartphone has become the critical issue of users information security. The smartphone services not only principal functions of a cellular phone but also personalized functions such as mobile banking and GPS location tracking. It means that an attacker will be able to obtain a variety of personal information when an attacker compromises the smartphone. For this reason, malwares target environments have been changed to the smartphone platforms from computers. The android OS has the permission mechanism that was designed to prevent malicious behaviors of installed applications. However most of the users are not concerned about permissions of application to install. Thus, the android OS needs an advanced security mechanism that will be able to warn malicious behaviors of installed applications to the user. In this paper, we proposed permission-based application monitoring model, which is performed at the Android OS-level.
