Abstract: In Android OS users find it very difficult to understand and comprehend its permission mechanism. Frequently, users tend to ignore permission negotiations dialogs during installation of an application. Users, who pay attention to the permission negotiation dialogs, find it tough to comprehend the description and evaluation of permission procedure. They do not know the impact of granting these permissions on their data. One major issue is that user is unaware about how application uses their data. He has no insight after granting permission to the application and effect of these permissions on his data’s privacy and security. This research reveals that discrete permission settings are helpful for user to secure his device resources and data. This study uses a distinct technique to detect danger of unnecessary permissions. It helps end users of Android OSs to understand the problems and provides them batter way to deal with the problems and grounds to explore alternatives.
