摘要

包括Android和Facebook在内的流行平台都采用了基于许可的模式。在这个模型下，应用程序需要声明对功能所需的用户信息的特定访问。我们对亚马逊的Mechanical Turk进行了两次用户研究，以测试这些权限请求在Android平台上的有效性。我们发现权限是无效的，即使添加了额外的文本警告。相反，我们发现应用的下载次数对应用安装有很大影响。为了确定这是否是我们基于文本的警告的失败，我们使用先前证明的视觉指示器进行了第二次实验。

Studying the effectiveness of android application permissions requests

Popular platforms including Android and Facebook have adopted a permissions-based model. Under this model applications (apps) are required to declare specific access to user information required for functionality. We conducted two user studies on Amazon's Mechanical Turk to test the efficacy of these permissions requests on the Android platform. We found permissions were ineffective, even with the addition of an additional text warning. Conversely, we found that an app's download count had a strong effect on app installations. In order to determine if it was a failure of our text-based warning, we ran a second experiment with a previously proven visual indicator.
