Based on the Linux kernel, Android operating system is open and exible enough to run on dierent devices having varied hardware conguration. Modern smart car infotainment systems allow users to connect an Android device to the vehicle. The device then interacts with the hardware of the car, hence providing new interaction mechanisms to the driver. However this can be misused and become a major security breach into the car with subsequent security concerns : the Android device can both read sensitive data (speed, model, airbag status) and send dangerous commands (brake, lock, airbag explosion). Moreover, this scenario is unsettling since Android devices connect to the cloud, opening the door to remote attacks by malicious users of the cyberspace. The applications are bringing potential vulnerability when they access private information from the resources of the devices. In this project, I have developed a static analysis based tool to detect vulnerabilities in Android Automotive Applications. It mainly focuses on the presence of malicious content in the application by analysing permissions, API calls, etc. The acquired data is then classied using machine learning techniques ER -
