"Enhancing Privacy Protections for Android Applications"

A platform, called Privacy Enhancements for Android (PE for Android), has been developed by a team of researchers led by Two Six Labs and Raytheon BBN Technologies under DARPA's Brandeis program. PE for Android was developed to support the creation of a privacy system that allows application developers to more easily use secure multi-party computation, differential privacy, and other advanced techniques. The platform also aims to give mobile device users more control over their private information through more permission enforcement options. This article continues to discuss the structure, components, capabilities, functionality, and goal of the PE for Android platform.
