[android-developers] Re: Permissions for System Apps (not in /data/system/packages.xml?)

As Dianne already guessed, my intentions are "semi-misguided". I am a
researcher in the field of mobile malware, which is why I asked (and
nope, this ain't my real name ;) ). Just to be sure I wanted some
confirmation for my guesses.

If all goes well, the result of my current work will be some change
proposals for future Android releases. Something in between the
current state and SEAndroid - but less "intrusive" to the existing
code base and the user experience as compared to SEAndroid. The
primary objective is some hardening of the Android platform against
malware which is capable of acquiring root privileges.

Still, this is going to take a while and the results are still not
100% certain.

Anyways, thanks a mountain for clearing things up for me!
