Android Apps Risk Evaluation: a methodology

Android uses a permission-based security model to limit its app's capability. However, the user's decision is almost completely unrelated to the app's risk level due to insucient information. The platform openness and the plethora of available software also make dangerous apps (not necessarily malware) very common. To enhance end-user security awareness, we propose a new approach and tool to evaluate the potential risks of Android app packages. We integrated various static and dynamic analysis techniques into a framework able to detect suspicious activities, map them to ne-grained risk categories and evaluate them with the fuzzy logic algorithm. This tool can retrieve and analyse large quantities of apps automatically and provides a simple logic for other tools to integrate with. Finally, our software has been tested on a large set of real-world samples, both benign and malicious, demonstrating its eciency (4s/app) and a reasonable capacity to evaluate the risk of Android app package

QEbu: an advanced graphical editor for the EBU Core metadata set

The creation and management of metadata documents can be quite a difficult task to accomplish manually. To address this issue in the context of the EBUCore v1.3 metadata set, we propose a GUI-based metadata editor, called QEbu, developed during the Multimedia Archival Techniques course, held at the Polytechnic University of Turin in collaboration with RAI. QEbu was developed with the aim of providing a user-friendly graphical editor to create and manage XML documents, relieving the user from the burden of worrying about the structure of the data and letting him focus on the actual content. The editor is usable by both experienced users and novices in the field. QEbu has been developed in C++ using the cross-platform and open source library Qt 4.8; this framework was chosen in order to exploit its natural features for developing interface-centred applications, running locally on the machine of the user under a desktop environment
