Android Security is quite multifaceted - not surprisingly given the depth and complexity of the Android OS. In this talk, you will learn what makes up the various layers of security and how they work together. By the end of this talk, you’ll have a solid understanding of various security concerns from the low level kernel to the high level app permissions, and everything in between. We’ll start with the Android architecture from the security perspective, followed by the startup and boot process of a typical device. Once you understand that, we’ll deep-dive into Android security architecture, app signing, user ids, file access, multi-user support and permissions. Next, we’ll provide an overview of file system encryption, rooting and security of memory. Finally, we’ll touch on device policy administration, malware, SE Android, and some other security concerns.
