In this practical course, the students deal with different aspects of smartphone security at the example of the open-source Android OS. In general, the awareness and understanding of the students for security and privacy problems in the area of smartphones is increased. The lab is split into two parts across the course of the semester: In the first part, the students become in supervised lab sessions familiar with the Android OS internals and in particular with its security architecture. In the second part, the students will apply this knowledge to develop and implement in group-based project work a selected security extension or ethical proof-of-concept attack themselves.
The project tasks can be chosen from following areas:
- Design and implementation of selected software attacks (ethical hacking)
- Design and implemenation of security extensions to the Android Middleware and Kernel
- Android system programming in general
