Enhancing Android application security through source code vulnerability mitigation using artificial intelligence: a privacy-preserved, community-driven, federated-learning-based approach. (2024)
Thesis
SENANAYAKE, J.M.D. 2024. Enhancing Android application security through source code vulnerability mitigation using artificial intelligence: a privacy-preserved, community-driven, federated-learning-based approach. Robert Gordon University, PhD thesis. Hosted on OpenAIR [online]. Available from: https://doi.org/10.48526/rgu-wt-2801183

As technology advances, Android devices and apps are rapidly increasing. It is crucial to adhere to security protocols during app development, especially as many apps lack sufficient safeguards. Despite the use of automated tools for risk mitigation,...
