Researchers from University of Alabama at Birmingham have developed a new way of detecting when shady mobile apps get up to no good. The technique relies on using the phone’s motion, position and ambient sensors to learn gestures that users typically make when they initiate phone calls, take pictures or use NFC readers to scan credit cards. Technology doesn’t require root access on the device and it’s better than the signature-based approach used by most mobile antivirus programs. Researchers plan to commercialize the technology in the future.”]
