METHOD FOR DETECTING APPLICATION REPACKAGING IN ANDROID

摘要

The present invention relates to a method to detect the repackaging of application in the Android environment. In response to a request for application registration, a market server registers an application with a hash value about an APK file, and the market server verifies the integrity of the application by comparing the hash value to a hash value, transmitted from a smart phone, through communication between the smart phone and the market server. According to the present invention, as whether to repackage or not is confirmed through the hash value, threats to security such as information leakage, the inducement of charging, and device malfunction are prevented.
