iSEC Securing Android Apps
By: android
This guide was written for developers of Android applications. It takes the reader through the security model of Android, including many of the key security mechanisms and how you can use them safely. While it is targeted towards applications developers, I hope it is useful background for those intending to change or extend the platform. Before reading this paper you should already be familiar with Android’s basic architecture and major abstractions including: Intents, Activities, BroadcastReceivers, Services, ContentProviders and Binder2. If you haven’t yet encountered most of these platform features you might want to start with the Notepad3 tutorial. Recently the source code for Android was released at http://source.android.com, the source is the ultimate platform reference, and curious developers should have a copy.
