Security
• Android applications run in a
sandbox, an isolated area of the
operating system that does not have
access to the rest of the system's
resources, unless access
permissions are granted by the user
when the application is installed.
Before installing an application,
Android Market displays all required
permissions.
• Security Architecture of Marshmallow
is different. Permissions may be
asked on runtime.
