Mobile Applications are a rapidly developing segment of the global Mobile Market. They consist of software that runs on a mobile device and performs certain tasks before the user of the Mobile Phone. They can be downloaded physically through USB / WIFI from a desktop or can be downloaded by a web server over internet. The security of mobile devices such as cellular phones and smartphones has gained extensive attention due to their increasing usage in people’s daily life. The problem is challenging as the computing environments of these devices have become more open and general-purpose while at the same time they have the constraints of performance and user experience. We propose and implement an effective solution for the integrity protection of real-world cellular phone platforms, which is motivated by the disadvantages of applying traditional integrity models on these performance and user experience constrained devices.
