Security Enhanced Android is the integration of Android with SE Linux launched by NSA to strengthen security.This system adopting Mandatory Access Control prevents attacks and enforces application isolation.Also, it provides an implementation of SE Linux in current Android environment.Therefore the capabilities of defeating root overflow attacks and deficiency in applications are significantly strengthened.In this paper, we discussed the security mechanisms of SE Android, and introduced the difficulties and solutions about implementing the system from the kernel and user space level.
