Mobile App Recommendations with Security and Privacy Awareness
Abstract
There is an enormous number of mobile apps, leading users to be concerned about the security and
privacy of their data. But few users are aware of what is meant by app permissions, which sometimes
do not illustrate what kind of data is gathered. Therefore, users are still concerned about security risks
and privacy, with little knowledge and experience of what security and privacy awareness. Users
depend on ratings, which may be fake, or keep track of their sense to install an app, and an enormous
number of users do not like to read reviews. To solve this issue, I worked to develop a recommender
system that reads users' reviews and which exposes flaws, violations and third-party policies or the
quality of a user's experience. In addition, I made a survey which supports two significant points: to
detect the level of security and privacy awareness between users, and to gather new words into a
dictionary of a recommender system, which assists to classify each review on the correct level, which
can indeed reveal the scale of security and privacy in an app
