Privacy Protection in Smartphone
When we are enjoying various functions and convenience from mobile devices, our private data are leaked via mobile apps. They are collecting our data more than the original function need while within the permission scope. Current mobile operating systems only provide coarse-grained data access permission, which makes it nearly impossible to eliminate this hazard within current systems. This talk, after a brief description of Data Over-Collection, focuses on an innovative web-based data access system to protect users’ privacy. Meanwhile, it is necessary to keep user transparent and optimize the performance. We use remote storage service with fine-grained permission control to store the private mobile data and keep ordinary data within the mobile device. The talk describes our current research work including mobile data separation for privacy, data access system design and implementation, cache mechanism improvement, and experiment setup. Unsolved problems and future research plans are included in the end as well.
