Project 1: Investigating the Value versus Cost of Privacy in the Internet of Things REU Student: Alex Mayle Graduate mentors: Sina Masnadi and Safa Bacanli Faculty Mentor(s): Dr. Turgut and Dr. Wisniewski Week 3 (June 6 - 10, 2016) This Week’s Goal: Have a custom OS that “intercepts” all requests for sensitive information implemented Accomplishments: Now understand the internal mechanisms of the Android OS Bought a book “Android Security Internals: An In-Depth Guide to Android’s Security Architecture” & almost read all relevant chapters Set up a development environment for the Android OS (much harder than making an app in Android Studio)

Project 1: Investigating the Value of Information versus Cost of Privacy in the Internet of Things REU Student: Alex Mayle Graduate mentors: Sina Masnadi and Safa Bacanli Faculty Mentor(s): Dr. Turgut and Dr. Wisniewski Issues/problems encountered and solutions (if any): Modifying the Android OS is not nearly as common as developing an Android app, so helpful information is generally scattered and requires a significant amount of time to find Specifically setting up a development / debugging environment took a full two days Plans for next week: Now I can actually start developing! Define specific specifications for the experiment as I’m now ready to dive into the details, rather than just learning about Android
