METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR APPLICATION SECURITY EVALUATION
First Claim
1. A method of evaluating user feedback of mobile communication device applications, the method comprising:
- receiving by a first server system, a plurality of user feedback messages from a plurality of mobile communication devices, the plurality of user feedback messages comprising information associated with one or more applications operable on the plurality of mobile communication devices;
selecting, based on the plurality of user feedback messages, one of the one or more operable applications;
determining a classification parameter of the selected operable application based on evaluating one or more operating characteristics of the selected operable application;
communicating the classification parameter to one or more of the plurality of mobile communication devices; and
communicating the classification parameter to an application evaluation database on a second server system.

Abstract
A system and method may be used in generating security profiles for mobile device applications. An application may be installed and executed in a controlled execution environment. Physical, functional, data and/or communications parameters of the executing application may be monitored and/or analyzed. In this regard, the analysis may comprise evaluation based on comparison against benchmark data for the specific type of application being executed and for the specific execution environment. A security profile may be generated based on the monitoring and/or analysis. In this regard, the security profile may include security classification information for the application. The security profile may be made available to servers and/or to user mobile devices.
