Research On Energy Consumption Evaluation For Android Application Protection

Nowadays,more secure and effective protection methods are needed to address severe smart phones security issues.And people are paying a lot of attention to the battery life which is the power source of smartphone.However,the stronger the application protection method is,the more complicated the transformation is,which would consume more power.Therefore,it is urgent to make a trade-off between the application security degree and the energy consumption of smart phones.As far as our concerned,there is little research on the relationship between application protection methods and energy consumption,so there is little relevant information for the developers to refer to.In order to more efficient application design,this thesis proposes an energy consumption evaluation prototype system for Android application protection methods.To do this,we mainly focus on the relationship between the application protection methods and energy consumption.We further quantify the energy consumption feature and protection degree for each application protection method.Main research in this thesis includes:(1)We first introduce the basic knowledge for the application protection methods and extract the protection feature for these methods,which can provide the theoretical basis for the whole research.(2)We conclude the impact of the application protection methods on the energy consumption,with linear regression method and a large number of experiments.In this process,we can quantify the energy consumption feature and protection strength.(3)We design an energy consumption evaluation system for Android application protection methods.The evaluation result can provide optimal strategy for smartphone application protection design.Finally,three application experiments reveal the feasibility and effectiveness of our system.
