Abstract
As the existing Android operating system doesn’t grant users the permission to manage system hardware. A system-level permission management mechanism of android device is proposed to solve this problem. This mechanism is based on the existing system. The existing Android system framework layer and application layer are modified and extended by using a control terminal application to control hardware and authorization, the system boot process, SystemProperty and Camera class to implement new system-level permission management mechanism of Android device. Via the mechanism, the security of Android system is improved, a new layer of protection is increased, the control function of hardware resource access is attached, and security threat for the platform is reduced from the system level. Experimental results show that the feasibility of this system privilege management mechanism is high.
