最初，Android和iOS采取了不同的方法，通过权限的方式保护用户的隐私免受第三方应用程序的侵害。旧的Android权限模型因其可用性差而屡遭诟病，而iOS的运行时权限模型在可用安全社区中受到的关注度相对较低。自2015年10月起，Android也实现了运行时权限模型。我们按三组比较了各自权限模型的感知和有用性：旧版 Android 用户、运行时 Android 和 iOS 权限。为此，我们对 800 多名受访者进行了调查。结果表明，据报道，用户使用这两种权限类型来做出有关应用程序使用的决策。然而，Android 和 iOS 中的运行时权限被认为比旧的 Android 权限更有用。用户还对独立于智能手机操作系统的运行时权限模型表现出更积极的态度。
Initially, Android and iOS took different approaches to protect users’ privacy from third-party apps by means of permissions. The old Android permission model has been repeatedly criticized for its poor usability, whereas the runtime permission model of iOS received relatively low attention in the usable security community. Since October 2015, Android also implements the runtime permission model. We compare perception and usefulness of the respective permission models by three groups: users of old Android, runtime Android and iOS permissions. To this end, we conducted a survey with over 800 respondents. The results indicate that both permission types are reportedly utilized by users for decision making regarding app usage. However, runtime permissions in Android and iOS are perceived as more useful than the old Android permissions. Users also show a more positive attitude towards the runtime permission model independently of the smartphone operating system.
