Abstract

This

paper

discusses

about

the

vulnerabilities related to Bring-Your-OwnDevice (BYOD) wherein we have explored

the concept of containerization and the

vulnerability related to BYOD Container.

Some mitigation process has also been

suggested for this vulnerability. The

Second vulnerability - what we have tried

to highlight is- the vulnerability arising as

the Application Installation Permission

cannot be cancelled at the runtime. One

solution for this vulnerability dealt in the

literature is Context-related access

control. Paper has discussed some

proposed the solution for the same. We

have limited the discussion to Mobile

usage of BYOD wherein we have taken

Android phones as the base.
