Abstract

The smart phone is becoming the most used computing and communication device. Users and service providers tend to use mobile phone applications as a means for using and providing different services. Android mobile operating system is the most prevalent among all mobile platforms. In Palestine telecommunication companies where the first to adopt the use of smartphone applications to provide services that include the transaction of billing information, location information, contacts and multiple private information about their customers. This presents the issue of how these applications are protecting and preserving the personal information of the users. This paper aims to analyze security vulnerabilities for selected mobile applications in Palestine, and the impact of these vulnerabilities on confidentiality, integrity, and availability of the user’s data. The tools used in this paper are Mobile Security Framework (MobSF) and Quick Android Review Kit (QARK). This analysis can help to take appropriate actions so that the impact of these vulnerabilities can be reduced.
