Android plays a vital role in the today's market. According to recent survey placed nearly 84.4% of people stick to android which explosively become popular for personal or business purposes. It is no doubt that the application are extremely familiar in the market for their amazing features and the wonderful benefits of android applications makes the users to fall for it. Android imparts significant responsibility to application developers for designing the application with understanding the risk of security issues. When concerned about security, malware protection is a major issue in which android has been a major target of malicious applications. In android based applications, permission control is one of the major security mechanisms. In this project, the permission induced risk in application, and the fundamentals of the android security architecture are explored, and it also focuses on the security ranking algorithms that are unique to specific applications. Hence, we propose the system providing the detection of malware analysis based on permission and steps to mitigate from accessing unwanted permission (limits the permission). It is also designed to reduce the probability of vulnerable attacks.
