Detection of vulnerabilities in applications that work on the Android operating system, through the development of a technological application

Abstract:

The article shows the results obtained when executing in a test scenario, two prototypes in order to find vulnerabilities in applications that work on the Android operating system, using for this the method of scientific induction and a type experimental research, through which it was elaborated a guide of best practices for secure programming in Android, and in turn a computer application (APSEBI) was developed, with two important components; the generator and the execution framework of the JUnit test cases, through which vulnerabilities based on an Android messaging system (intent) could be detected, obtaining as a result after the comparison of the two prototypes that the vulnerabilities are reduced if the recommendations of the guide defined in this study are used when programming.
