Secure Inter-Process Communication (IPC) in Android: Implementing Secure Mechanisms to Protect Data Exchange Between Components

Naga Satya Praveen Kumar Yadati

Abstract: This paper explores secure Inter-Process Communication (IPC) mechanisms in Android to protect data exchange between components. We analyze the Binder framework, Intent-based communication, Messenger, and BroadcastReceiver, identifying their security vulnerabilities and proposing mitigation techniques. The goal is to provide developers with guidelines for implementing robust IPC security measures. This analysis is critical in the context of increasing security threats and the growing complexity of mobile applications.

Keywords: Android, Secure IPC, Binder, Intents, Messenger, BroadcastReceiver, Data Protection, Security Mechanisms
