 WHAT IS ANDROID ?
• Android is a software stack for mobile devices
that includes an OS, middleware and key
applications.

• User applications can be developed using Android

SDK which supplies a host of API’s needed for
development using Java programming language.

SECURITY AND PERMISSIONS
• Android is a multi-process system, in which each application
runs in its own process.
• Most security at the process level through standard linux
facilities.
• Additional securities through “permission” mechanism that
enforces restrictions on the specific operations that a particular
process can perform.
• In android security architecture no application, by default, has
permission to perform any operations that would adversely
impact other applications, the OS, or the user.
• This includes reading or writing the user’s private data,
reading or writing another application’s files, performing
network access.

 FUTURE OF ANDROID
• Over the next year or two, an exponential
increase in the number of Android related
devices.
• As the number and variety of gadgets
continues to increase the potential market for
Android will grow ever larger.

 CONCLUSION
Android is a disruptive technology, which
has introduced initially on mobile
handsets, but has much wider potential.
