Abstract

According to the rapid growth of the number of SNS(Social Networking Service) applications based on Android OS, the importance of its security is also raised. Especially, many applications using KaKaoTalk platform has been released in these days, and these are top ranked in the relative markets. However, security issues on SNS applications have not been resolved clearly. Therefore, it is crucial to provide means to cope with the security threats posed by code-segment modification in the development stage of Android OS based SNS applications. In this paper, we analyze the security threats by modifying SNS application code segments and suggest effective security techniques.
