Application Security for the Android Platform: Processes, Permissions, and Other Safeguards

This book will educate readers on the need for application security and secure coding practices when designing any app. No prior knowledge of security or secure programming techniques is assumed. The book will discuss the need for such practices, how the Android environment is structured with respect to security considerations, what services and techniques are available on the platform to protect data, and how developers can build and code applications that address the risk to their applications and the data processed by them. This text is especially important now, as Android is fast becoming the mobile platform target of choice for attackers attempting to steal data from mobile devices.

这本书将教育读者在设计任何应用程序时，应用程序安全和安全编码实践的必要性。不假定有安全或安全编程技术的先验知识。这本书将讨论这种做法的必要性，从安全方面考虑，Android环境是如何构建的，该平台上有哪些服务和技术可用于保护数据，以及开发人员如何构建和编码应用程序，以应对他们的应用程序和他们处理的数据的风险。这篇文章现在尤其重要，因为Android正迅速成为试图从移动设备窃取数据的攻击者的移动平台目标。
