    Mobile computing is considered as low-cost computing systems. Now days it dominates almost every aspects of our lives from mobile banking to mobile purchasing to mobile browsing, etc. As the demands of mobile phone increase in our lives, making the system secure from authorized access, malicious threads etc is very important. In mobile computing one of the most important need is Mobile security聽or聽mobile phone security. Operating system plays an important role to gain both functionalities and quality (e.g., security) of a system. This paper briefly discuss both聽 the operating systems in terms of security .Also this paper surveys the software architecture of two of the leading mobile operating systems such as Android (Linux), and Windows Mobile. Furthermore, at the end the result of survey we have conducted have been proved that Android is providing better security measures than Windows8

    El trabajo de investigaci贸n Desarrollo de una aplicaci贸n que permita el escaneo de las vulnerabilidades en los dispositivos m贸viles Android para mitigar los problemas de seguridad realizado en la ciudad de Riobamba, beneficia principalmente a los desarrolladores de software para la realizaci贸n de una programaci贸n segura bajo Android. El presente trabajo de investigaci贸n utiliza el m茅todo cient铆fico porque utiliza varias etapas para obtener un conocimiento v谩lido, lo que ha permitido la fiabilidad de la investigaci贸n y resultados. Se compararon los indicadores considerados en las variables y se aplic贸 la estad铆stica descriptiva y la inferencial para la demostraci贸n de la hip贸tesis. Las herramientas que se utilizaron fueron como ambiente de desarrollo integrado Netbeans y Eclipse Juno, JDK (Java Development Kit) de Java y el SDK (Software Development Kit) de Android. Se desarroll贸 el generador y el framework de ejecuci贸n de los casos de prueba que permite la detecci贸n de las vulnerabilidades en las aplicaciones escaneadas, se elabor贸 la Gu铆a de Mejores Pr谩cticas para la Realizaci贸n de una Programaci贸n Segura en Android. Se implement贸 y compar贸 los resultados obtenidos entre los prototipos I (sin considerar las recomendaciones de la gu铆a) y II (considerando las recomendaciones de la gu铆a) de 3 aplicaciones, que obtuvieron una valoraci贸n de 28 y 34 puntos de acuerdo a las escalas de Likert respectivamente. Se concluye que la aplicaci贸n desarrollada (APSEBI) escanea las vulnerabilidades basadas en intents, a trav茅s de la gu铆a elaborada mejora la seguridad de las aplicaciones Android en un 21,4%. Se recomienda a los desarrolladores de software seguir actualizando el generador de casos de prueba en base a nuevos patrones de vulnerabilidad, as铆 como tambi茅n la gu铆a elaborada.The research development of an application that allows scanning vulnerabilities in Android mobile devices to mitigate security issues held in the city of Riobamba, mainly benefits developers of software for the realization of a secure programming on Android. This research uses the scientific method because it uses several steps to obtain valid knowledge, allowing the reliability of the research and results. Comparing: the indicators considered in the variables and applied, descriptive and inferential statistics to demonstrate the hypothesis. The tool used were as integrated development environment, Netbeans and Eclipse Juno, JDK (Java Development Kit) Java and SDK (Software Development Kit) for Android. Developed, the generator and the framework for implementing the test cases that allows the detection of vulnerabilities in scanned applications, and it was developed the Guide to Best Practices for Making a Secure Programming in Android. It was implemented and compared the results obtained between the prototypes I (without considering the recommendations of the Guide) and II (considering the recommendations of the Guide) from 3 applications, which received a rating of 28 and 34 points according to Likert scales respectively. It is concluded that the developed application (APSEBI) scans based vulnerabilities intents, through the prepared Guide improves the security of Android applications by 21.4%. It is recommended, software developers continue to update the generator of test cases based on new patterns of vulnerability, as well as the prepared guide
