Privacy Assessment in Android Apps: A Systematic Mapping Study

Jose M. Del Alamo, Danny Guaman, Belen Balmori, Ana Diez

Summary: Billions of users worldwide daily install Android apps, which access a vast amount of sensitive personal data. Various techniques have been developed to understand how apps protect or harm user privacy, but these results come from different research domains and perspectives, resulting in a scattered body of knowledge. To address this gap, a systematic mapping study was conducted to provide an overview of state-of-the-art techniques for assessing privacy in Android apps between 2016 and 2020, highlighting relevant findings, identifying pressing gaps, and discussing promising research directions.

Automated GDPR compliance assessment for cross-border personal data transfers in android applications

Danny S. Guaman, David Rodriguez, Jose M. del Alamo, Jose Such

Summary: The General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) aims to ensure fair and transparent personal data processing activities for EU citizens, regardless of location. However, supervisory authorities face challenges in checking GDPR compliance for mobile apps due to their high number and dynamic nature. This paper proposes an automated method for assessing Android app compliance with GDPR requirements for cross-border data transfers. The study found that nearly half of the apps sending personal data may not comply with GDPR, indicating a significant gap between app providers' practices and GDPR intentions.

Enhancing Web Applications Observability through Instrumented Automated Browsers

Boni Garcia, Filippo Ricca, Jose M. del Alamo, Maurizio Leotta

Summary: Observability is the ability to determine the current state of a software system based on its external outputs or signals. This paper presents BrowserWatcher, an open-source browser extension that allows observation of web applications and automatic gathering of browser console logs in different browsers. The study shows that BrowserWatcher collects well-known log categories and identifies additional types of logs specific to each browser, providing distinct information for the same website.
