Q3. Explain Android Security model.

Ans - The Android security model is primarily based on a sandbox and permission mechanism. Each
application is running in a specific Dalvik virtual machine with a unique user ID assigned to it, which
means the application code runs in isolation from the code of all other applications. Therefore, one
application does not have access to other applications’ files.

Android application has been signed with a certificate with a private key. This allows the author of
the application to be identified if needed. When an application is installed in the phone it is assigned
a user ID, thus avoiding it from affecting other applications by creating a sandbox for it. This user ID is
permanent on which devices and applications with the same user ID are allowed to run in a single
process. This is a way to ensure that a malicious application Cannot access / compromise the data of
the genuine application. It is mandatory for an application to list all the resources it will Access
during installation.

Q4. Elaborate the need of permissions in Android. Explain the permissions to set system
functionalities like SEND-SMS, Bluetooth.

Ans - The purpose of a permission is to protect the privacy of an Android user. Android apps must
request permission to access sensitive user data (such as contacts and SMS), as well as certain
system features (such as camera and internet). Depending on the feature, the system might grant the
permission automatically or might prompt the user to approve the request.

 android. permission. SEND_SMS

Allows the app to send SMS messages. This may result in unexpected charges. Malicious apps may
cost you money by sending messages without your confirmation.

Following is the code snippet to set SEND_SMS permissions in manifest file.

<uses-permissions android: name = ‘android.permissions.SEND_SMS’>

 android. permission. BLUETOOTH

Allows the app to initiate and accept Bluetooth connections. Apps that utilize Bluetooth
functionality for tasks such as pairing with other devices, transferring data wirelessly, or
communicating with Bluetooth-enabled hardware need this permission.

You need to provide following permissions in AndroidManifest.xml file.

<uses-permission android: name="android.permission.BLUETOOTH" />

<uses-permission android: name="android.permission.BLUETOOTH_ADMIN" />
