Abstract :
Hacking method of decomposing a well-known apps, reverse engineering, inserting malicious code, repackaging of it, and then redistributing it accounts for the majority of Android apps hacking. It is related to the fact that Android App consists of JAVA language and it is easy to apply reverse engineering. We propose a protection solution for this hacking method. It can prevent avoiding App integrity check routine and working of forgery apps.
