Abstract
In current Android architecture design, users have to decide whether an app is safe to use or not. Expert users can make savvy decisions to prevent unnecessary privacy breach. However, inexperienced users may not be able to decide correctly. To assist inexperienced users to make a right permission granting decisions, we propose RecDroid. RecDroid is a crowdsourcing recommendation framework that facilitates a user-help-user environment regarding smartphone permission control. In this framework, the responses from expert users are aggregated and recommended to other users. We implement our prototype on Android platform and evaluated the system through simulation and real user study.
