| contents | The Android operating system is used by most smartphones and has a huge number of users. App developers provide services in the form of apps. Due to the large user base and app developers, it must maintain the users' security and privacy. Android Apps are needed to access resource utilization after getting permission from the user. But the user does not read the app permission details for using the device resources and may grant excessive or objectionable permissions, where Android gray-ware app developers collect large amounts of personal information through such apps. The user is also unaware of what type of permission they are granting to the apps. This paper presents an assessment method for examining the security and privacy controls of Android users' adaptation to the Android permission model. The study consists of evaluating Android users' attention while installing or understanding the purpose of the permissions during or after installation. So, the assessment will be carried out through an Android app whose sole purpose is to monitor all the permissions granted to every installed app on the device. During the study, it was discovered that the data set of 102 users paid little attention and were granted unnecessary permissions. Moreover, the android deployed permission model assessed, and we observed the literacy and awareness of users of the Android permission model is an essential factor that can control the misuse of a malicious app. |
