“…And it is very much essential that these loopholes are to be corrected in the Android OS itself. There are possibilities where the application which is allowed by some specific permissions such as read contacts, read/write storage, can be taking user data to their servers without even user's knowledge [14]. After the permissions are allowed to the user, it is not notified to the user about what information from their device is being used or taking it to the application servers.…”

In the current world of technology, people are updating to smart devices day by day. Users often keep personal information on their smartphones, but it increases the threat to the privacy of their data. There are many applications which require the user data to provide specific services such as WhatsApp, Instagram, Paytm, PhonePe, etc., There are special permissions which can be misused by some applications, like READ_EXTERNAL_STORAGE, READ_SMS, SEND_SMS, WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE, READ_CONTACTS, etc., Many applications take users data to their servers without the knowledge of user by running in the background. In this paper, it is shown that how an application runs in the background by running various services, and performs the background activities like notifications, displaying ads, etc., A proposed algorithm is described that how every activity of the background services can be monitored using Android Log and user can be alerted by showing which data is being accessed by the particular application.

In this paper, a key backup technique for the recovery of files encrypted by ransomware is proposed. Ransomware interferes with the victim's system through abnormal behavior such as locking of the victim's system or encryption of the system or files. Ransomware writers demand money from the victims as a condition for the recovery of the encrypted files and systems that have been seized; systems infected by ransomware cannot be repaired without a decryption key, making the employment of detection and recovery methods urgent. This paper proposes a prevention technique for backing up encryption keys in a secure repository which enables the recovery of ransomware-infected systems and ransomware-encrypted files. The proposed technique can be used to repair systems infected by ransomware, thereby ensuring safety against such malicious codes. KEYWORDSbig data security, key backup, prevention, ransomware INTRODUCTIONAs modern society is changing into an information society, various kinds of corresponding information are utilized and stored. In the past, users stored their personal information in storage media such as hard disks, floppy disks, and CDs. While the computing environment and the network environment continually develop, remote storage technologies such as web hard drives and cloud services-wherein data and the computing environment such as software are used remotely-have emerged. With the development of the storage environment, the remote techniques are able to process mass data, and big data has emerged as a result. Big data is the derivation of value of data through the collection, storage, management, and analysis of mass data.Similar to other research fields, the most important element of big data is the data itself. In this respect, the analyzed results are valuable when data must be preserved without the need for alteration; unfortunately, though, there is a problem regarding ensuring the reliability of the data. Because many problems are caused by forged data, a critical issue is the vulnerability of the system data that are stored, and a representative example is cyber-crime. Past cyber-crimes originated from curiosity but have developed into a tool for revenge, monetary purposes, and cyber warfare, and cyber-crime has become a kind of service called "CaaS" (crime as a service). 1 These services are being sold as products and are classified according to consulting services: botnet setups, infection and spreading services, botnet and rentals, and crimeware-upgrade modules. Concretely, a consulting service for a typical botnet setup is approximately 350 to 400 dollars, whereas an infection and spreading service is approximately 100 dollars for every 1000 installed. Therefore, big data systems comprising part of the various service-related data have been exposed to threats, and the salience of this issue is further highlighted by the recent emergence of ransomware. In February 2016, one of the most notorious ransomware attacks occurred; because of this, Hollywood Presbyterian Medical Center in the US was ...
