Enforcing Privacy Policies for Hybrid Mobile Applications

A hybrid mobile application (app) is a mobile app that is based on the web running within a container in a native mobile app. Hybrid application development allows an app developed once but can be run on multiple mobile platforms. However, hybrid apps are more vulnerable to cyber attacks than native apps because of the vulnerabilities on the web. In this work, we study in-depth the vulnerabilities that compromise user privacy in hybrid mobile apps. We propose a wide range of policies that can prevent such privacy violations and allow the end-users to personalize them.https://ecommons.udayton.edu/stander_posters/2792/thumbnail.jp
