N2 - Android applications often include third-party libraries written in native code. However, current native components are not well managed by Android's security architecture. We present NativeGuard, a security framework that isolates native libraries from other components in Android applications. Leveraging the process-based protection in Android, NativeGuard isolates native libraries of an Android application into a second application where unnecessary privileges are eliminated. NativeGuard requires neither modifications to Android nor access to the source code of an application. It addresses multiple technical issues to support various interfaces that Android provides to the native world. Experimental results demonstrate that our framework works well with a set of real-world applications, and incurs only modest overhead on benchmark programs.
