Veracode Security Researchers, Zach Lanier and Andrew Reiter, will discuss a methodology for building an Android API permission map, including dynamic and static discovery tools. They will also present the evolution of the map as the Android API has transformed through releases.

The Android Open Source Project, led by Google, is tasked with the maintenance and development of Android. Since its first release in 2008, Android has seen frequent updates due to the ongoing development of the project and API. However there is not a corresponding, complete map for tracking the evolution of which API permissions are actually required for each operation. This is causing headaches for application security testers and application developers alike.
