There are more than one billion Android devices in use today, each one a potential target. Unfortunately, many fundamental Android security features have been little more than a black box to all but the most elite security professionalsâ‚¬"until now.

In Android Security Internals, top Android security expert Nikolay Elenkov takes us under the hood of the Android security sysÂtem. Elenkov describes Android security archiÂtecture from the bottom up, delving into the impleÂmentation of major security-related components and subsystems, like Binder IPC, permissions, cryptographic providers, and device administration.

Youâ‚¬ll learn:
â‚¬â€œHow Android permissions are declared, used, and enforced
â‚¬â€œHow Android manages application packages and employs code signing to verify their authenticity
â‚¬â€œHow Android implements the Java Cryptography Architecture (JCA) and Java Secure Socket Extension (JSSE) frameworks
â‚¬â€œAbout Androidâ‚¬s credential storage system and APIs, which let applications store cryptographic keys securely
â‚¬â€œAbout the online account management framework and how Google accounts integrate with Android
â‚¬â€œAbout the implementation of verified boot, disk encryption, lockscreen, and other device security features
â‚¬â€œHow Androidâ‚¬s bootloader and recovery OS are used to perform full system updates, and how to obtain root access
