Abstract:

Since more and more third-party Android applications integrate backup services, the security issues of mobile backup modules are critical. By studying how widely these backup services were being used in the Android applications, the differences of code security about four mainstream Android backup SDK were investigated. After analyzing and comparing the usages, protocols and API functions of these SDK. Based on the above findings and three reported security issues of mobile backup services, the countermeasures for third-party application developers were suggested to securely call the SDK of mobile backup services.

Key words: mobile cloud storage, code security, backup services, SDK
