North Carolina State University researchers have developed software designed to safeguard personal information from being swiped from Android smartphone users. Privacy mode software dubbed Taming Information-Stealing Smartphone Applications (TISSA) would give Android users more control over what information they divulge to makers of third-party apps. Privacy modes would include Trusted, Anonymized, Bogus and Empty. Researchers are hoping to convince Google to work the technology into Android via an over-the-air update.”]
