Abstract:

A system for providing increased security in a mobile operating system includes at least one mobile device and a remote computing device that is remote from the mobile device. The remote computing device receives a list of two or more applications that are currently installed or intended to be installed on the mobile device's operating system. The remote computing device identifies vulnerable inter-component communication (ICC) paths by analyzing files associated with each of the two or more applications. A list of the vulnerable ICC paths is stored in memory of the mobile device. The mobile processor compares the list of the vulnerable ICC paths to intents sent by the components of the two or more applications and identifies a potential unsecure intent that matches one of the list of the vulnerable ICC paths. Unsecured intents can then be blocked by the user.
