Abstract
This paper presents design approaches to communicate the degree of over-privilege in mobile applications. It uses an additional rating system in application stores to inform users before making the decision of installing a specific application. The approaches have been evaluated in a usability study based on distinct prototype Android application stores. The findings show that passive security indicators can be applied to influence the decision-making process of users before downloading and installing an application.
