Level of Protection for Android Very Low
In the recent time has been spent study which showed a fairly low level of protection for Android . It turned out that when you install the latest update of the operating system for mobile devices, version 4.2 has in its arsenal a special service for the control of different applications.
One of the university researchers in the United States made a detailed analysis of the operation of the program. According to him, the system, which are supposed to be a barrier in the way of malware able to deal with only fifteen percent of all.
Google provided this protective system, assuming that all downloadable software that contains malicious code that will be easily detected. One can cite the example of the fences to give that are designed to perform security functions. And the service for Android uses cloud technology.
Jiang entered as follows: 1260 uploaded to the device different programs that are malicious. Protection system has identified only 193 of all the dangers. The professor also worked with ten antivirus. The results were much higher than in previous studies. Thus, the anti-virus service were able to detect between 51 and 100% of all malware.
Gian University researcher Jiang expressed the following opinion on the issue. To get a better result for the detection of malicious programs and eventually gather the most accurate information, you need to collect as much information. However, the possibility of intervention in the personal data of users increases. Therefore difficult to predict the response to such manipulations.
Now for the test, a special technical mechanism SHA1. It analyzes the applications and software packages, trying to understand - there is a threat or not. However, it is based only on your server component.
