dc.descriptionThis research analyzed selected contact tracing applications to identify potential vulnerabilities and geolocation of services used by these applications. MobSF framework and Android emulators were used to perform static and dynamic analysis of the applications. Security policies of applications were analyzed to check conformance with selected parameters outlined in personal information protection regulations. Results obtained from analysis revealed that some of the applications had vulnerabilities which could be exploited by bad actors endangering users’ personal information. The findings from the study can be useful to privacy researchers and mobile applications developers.
