| Sumario: | The current mobile application distribution model cannot cope with the complex security requirements of the emerging "bring your own device" (BYOD) paradigm. A secure metamarket architecture supports the definition and enforcement of BYOD policies and offers a promising prototype implementation tested under realistic conditions. The Web extra at http://youtu.be/0hEJoGhzczs is a video slideshow discussing BYODroid, an implementation of a secure meta-market dealing specifically with the Android OS. A secure meta-market is an extension of the current mobile application distribution paradigm supporting the definition and enforcement of "Bring Your Own Device" policies on personal devices. BYODroid automatically retrieves application packages from Android stores and formally verifies whether such applications comply with a given formal BYOD policy, thereby allowing the installation of policy-compliant applications only. The presentation briefly explains the idea behind the secure meta-market model and provides an experimental assessment of BYODroid.
