Abstract
Security features of an ANDROID® operating system device using a data flow tracking filter are described. The data flow tracking filter uses a message filter model to track sensitive data in the ANDROID® operating system device through I/O channels to provide users with control over when the data attempts to leave the device through a network interface, thus exposing how third party applications use user private data. The data tracking filter also enables operating at the kernel level so intercept of all standard channels of communication is possible.
