A novel approach to restrict the access of malicious applications in android

Smartphones have become the important part of our lives. We carry Smartphones to carry out a wide range of services ranging from social networking to internet banking. Security of our private data stored in our smartphone is very important as there are thousands of applications that we can download and install from different app stores, without checking the authenticity of these apps. In order to enhance the security of our smart phones we propose and implement a novel algorithm which can stop the access of the malicious apps at runtime. The algorithm keeps track of all the apps running in the background and monitors their activity. If the app tries to do something which it was not supposed to do it automatically informs the novice user about the malicious activity. We proposed the algorithm for Android based Smartphones.
