Earp: Principled Storage, Sharing, and Protection for Mobile Apps

Authors: 

Yuanzhong Xu, Tyler Hunt, Youngjin Kwon, and Martin Georgiev, The University of Texas at Austin; Vitaly Shmatikov, Cornell Tech; Emmett Witchel, The University of Texas at Austin

Abstract: 

Modern mobile apps need to store and share structured data, but the coarse-grained access-control mechanisms in existing mobile operating systems are inadequate to help apps express and enforce their protection requirements.

We design, implement, and evaluate a prototype of Earp, a new mobile platform that uses the relational model as the unified OS-level abstraction for both storage and inter-app services. Earp provides apps with structureaware, OS-enforced access control, bringing order and protection to the Wild West of mobile data management.
