Mobile device application interaction reputation risk assessment

A computer program product for determining a risk of a mobile application, the computer program product comprising:

• a computer-readable storage medium having computer readable program code embodied therewith, the computer readable program code comprising:
• computer readable program code to receive rules associated with applications installed on a mobile device;
• computer readable program code to collect declared intents of the applications installed on the mobile device prior to execution of the applications;
• computer readable program code to generate possible combinations of declared intents of the applications installed on the mobile device;
• computer readable program code to collect, by an intent proxy during execution of each of the applications installed on the mobile device, information associated with intercepted intents;
• computer readable program code to compare the information associated with each of the intercepted intents to the rules, wherein a match between the information of one or a combination of the intercepted intents and one or more of the rules, results in a first violation;
• computer readable program code to compare the intercepted intents to the possible combinations of the declared intents, wherein the intercepted intents other than the possible combinations of the declared intents results in a second violation;
• and
• computer readable program code to, responsive to the result of either or both of the first violation and the second violation, display on the mobile device, a risk alert for the applications that are associated with either or both of the first violation and the second violation.

A computer system for determining a risk of a mobile application, the computer system comprising:

• one or more computer processors;
• one or more computer-readable storage media;
• computer readable program code stored on the computer-readable storage media for execution by at least one of the one or more processors, the computer readable program comprising:
• computer readable program code to receive rules associated with applications installed on a mobile device;
• computer readable program code to collect declared intents of the applications installed on the mobile device prior to execution of the applications;
• computer readable program code to generate possible combinations of declared intents of the applications installed on the mobile device;
• computer readable program code to collect, by an intent proxy during execution of each of the applications installed on the mobile device, information associated with intercepted intents;
• computer readable program code to compare the information associated with each of the intercepted intents to the rules, wherein a match between the information of one or a combination of the intercepted intents and one or more of the rules, results in a first violation;
• computer readable program code to compare the intercepted intents to the possible combinations of the declared intents, wherein the intercepted intents other than the possible combinations of the declared intents results in a second violation;
• and
• computer readable program code to, responsive to the result of either or both of the first violation and the second violation, display on the mobile device, a risk alert for the applications that are associated with either or both of the first violation and the second violation.
