This paper presents the design and implementation of a systematic Inter-Component Communications (ICCs) dynamic Analysis Technique (SIAT) for detecting privacy-sensitive data leak threats. SIAT’s specific approach involves the identification of malicious ICC patterns by actively tracing both data fl...
