Abstract
Summary form only given. Increasingly, attention is being paid to security vulnerabilities of mobile apps, and with good reason. Such vulnerabilities, if exploited, could be used to wreak havoc on users by stealing their information or controlling their mobile device. Given the billions of mobile apps in use today, security breaches threaten to occur on a very large scale. This presentation discusses the issues and challenges surrounding app vetting systems and provides lessons learned during the development and deployment of an app vetting system for the DARPA TransApps program.
