Security and Privacy

Introduction

NaNLabs has developed an app to help small store owners. Here is a description of the app:

https://www.nan-labs.com/work/android-mobile-application-empower-retailers/

There are many possible security and privacy issues involved with this app.

The Assignment

Imagine that you and your team are going to write this app. For this assignment, you are to write a paper describing the security and privacy issues involved and how you would address these issues to minimize the users' risks.

In your paper you should discuss each security and privacy risk - reference papers that indicate that these are types of risk - and tell how your app would address these problems. Your design should impact the usability of the app as little as possible. The paper should be long enough to adequately cover the material (5 - 8 pages?).

Hints

1) This paper is not just for me. Assume the reader needs an introduction to the topic.

2) Cite many sources.

3) Write well.

4) Show lots of examples.
