Desarrollo de una aplicación que permita el escaneo de las vulnerabilidades en los dispositivos móviles Android para mitigar los problemas de seguridad

Abstract

The research development of an application that allows scanning vulnerabilities in Android mobile devices to mitigate security issues held in the city of Riobamba, mainly benefits developers of software for the realization of a secure programming on Android. This research uses the scientific method because it uses several steps to obtain valid knowledge, allowing the reliability of the research and results. Comparing: the indicators considered in the variables and applied, descriptive and inferential statistics to demonstrate the hypothesis. The tool used were as integrated development environment, Netbeans and Eclipse Juno, JDK (Java Development Kit) Java and SDK (Software Development Kit) for Android. Developed, the generator and the framework for implementing the test cases that allows the detection of vulnerabilities in scanned applications, and it was developed the Guide to Best Practices for Making a Secure Programming in Android. It was implemented and compared the results obtained between the prototypes I (without considering the recommendations of the Guide) and II (considering the recommendations of the Guide) from 3 applications, which received a rating of 28 and 34 points according to Likert scales respectively. It is concluded that the developed application (APSEBI) scans based vulnerabilities intents, through the prepared Guide improves the security of Android applications by 21.4%. It is recommended, software developers continue to update the generator of test cases based on new patterns of vulnerability, as well as the prepared guide.
