Android Security Overview by Android Open Source Project. Android provides an open source platform and application environment for mobile devices. The core operating system is built on top of the Linux kernel. Android applications are most often written in the Java programming language and run in the Dalvik virtual machine ( DVM ). However, many applications, including core Android services and applications are native applications or include native libraries. Both Dalvik and native applications run within the same security environment, contained within the Application Sandbox. Applications get a dedicated part of the filesystem in which they can write private data, including databases and raw files. This document outlines the goals of the Android security program, describes the fundamentals of the Android security architecture, and answers the most pertinent questions for system architects and security analysts.
