Abstract
In one embodiment, a method determines a permission list from an application and generates a set of potential behaviors. The potential behaviors are associated with actions that the application allows when executing on a mobile device where the potential behaviors are determined without execution of the application. The method then determines functional category information regarding a functional category from a set of application marketplaces that contain the application and determines application description information for the application. A required behavior list is generated including a set of required behaviors from the functional category information and the application description information. The method compares the required behaviors to the potential behaviors to determine a set of security related behaviors. The security related behaviors are behaviors found in the potential behaviors, but not in the required behaviors. A security rating is determined based on the set of security related behaviors.
