Abstract(in English) Application program (AP) can collaborate with other APs and control personal information with Intent or user's allowing of permission. However, users cannot detect those behaviors. Therefore, users might not be able to be aware of an AP as a malware. This paper proposes a method for tracing diffusion of personal information and preventing its leakage on Android. Our method alerts information leakage when an AP uses APIs to communicate with outside. These alerts are caused only if the AP has already called APIs to collect personal information. Users can refuse execution of the API if it was not appropriate. Further, we visualize the diffusion path of personal information to support users to decide the API is appropriate or not.
