  • Abstract
    Mobile security app plays an important role in managing third-party apps and protecting user´s data on smart phone. However, who can guarantee mobile security app´s loyalty, or who can determine a given mobile security app is not a hypocritical thief? Thus, it is very necessary to establish a supervision mechanism to restrict mobile security app for user´s privacy, but there isn´t any technique to supervise the behavior of security apps till now. We summarized the security scenario of android smart phone from five aspects, and proposed a Competitive Supervision Mechanism and three theoretical supportive techniques to supervise mobile security app for user´s security concern.
