Increasing Privacy for Android (IPA)

Abstract

Throughout the world smartphones are being carried and used by all types and ages of people. These always on devices are equipped with numerous hardware chips and sensors such as GPS, Wifi, Bluetooth, and cellular modems, all of which can be utilized to track and report location. The ability of mobile applications to persistently monitor, track, and record the devices location poses a serious privacy risk, not only to normal cell phone users, but also to US government personnel. Increasing Privacy for Android (IPA) is a custom Android OS that aims to address this privacy risk posed by modern smartphones.
