| Abstract | Mobile devices have become an indispensable component of our daily life. New applications published by developers help users to do their daily activities easier and faster. As the market leader of mobile OS, Android provides numerous applications in official and other application markets. However the simplified access model to mobile applications makes malicious applications more accessible to sensitive data that users store on their mobile devices. For instance, mobile banking applications are lucrative targets of the hackers to access user data without authorization. Current security structure of the Android OS makes trivial for hackers to acquire source codes of legitimate applications and republish them after injecting malicious codes into the original source codes. This process of acquiring legitimate application codes, modifying them with malicious intents and then republishing on available application stores is often known as Repackaging attack. The main focus of this study is to analyze popular security attacks to mobile applications, conduct preliminary experiments to evaluate the feasibility and difficulty in implementing security attacks to a mission critical mobile application, identify existing solutions and research gaps, and propose research directions. We successfully conduct three repackaging attacks to access victim's data by by using different hacking tools and techniques. By analyzing these scenarios, we evaluate their level of risks and propose technical mitigation. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
