Description

Android is among the most widely used operating systems among consumers. The standard security model must address several dangers while still being usable by non-security users due to the wide range of use cases, including access to cameras and microphones and use cases for sharing information, entertainment, business, and health. The Android operating system has taken smartphone technology to peoples front doors. Thanks to recent technological developments, people from all walks of life can now access it. However, the popularity of the Android platform has exacerbated the growth of cybercrime via mobile devices. The open-source nature of its operating system has made it a target for hackers. This research paper examines the comparative study of the Android Security domain in-depth, classifying the attacks on the Android device. The study covers various threats and security measures linked to these kinds and thoroughly examines the fundamental problems in the Android security field. This work compares and contrasts several malware detection techniques regarding their methods and constraints. Researchers will utilize the information to comprehensively understand Android security from various perspectives, enabling them to develop a more complete, trustworthy, and beneficial response to Androids vulnerabilities. 2023 American Institute of Physics Inc..
