Abstract

To diplomsko delo se osredotoča na varnostni vidik pri uporabi mobilnih aplikacij za zdravje. Nedavne raziskave so namreč pokazale, da večina mobilnih aplikacij ne zagotavlja varnosti podatkov. Delo obravnava aplikacije, uporabljene v zdravstvu in v športu ter navaja njihove prednosti za uporabnika. Kljub njihovi koristi za zdravje je treba pozornost nameniti potencialno škodljivim aplikacijam, ki lahko škodujejo mobilni napravi ali zlorabijo uporabnikove osebne podatke. Za varnost morajo poskrbeti tako razvijalci kot uporabniki, problemi pa mnogokrat nastanejo zaradi malomarnosti iz strani obeh. Aplikacije od uporabnika zahtevajo številna dovoljenja. Če je varnost ogrožena, lahko pride do odtekanja podatkov, to pa lahko ugotavljamo s pomočjo statične in dinamične analize ter posebnih aplikacij. Raziskave so pokazale, da ima več kot polovica aplikacij za zdravje varnostne pomanjkljivosti in da se uporabniki tega ne zavedajo. Predstavljene so rešitve, kako se lahko uporabnik zaščiti pred zlorabo podatkov, tj. da preveri mnenja drugih uporabnikov o aplikaciji, poskrbi za dovolj močno geslo ali ustvari kopijo podatkov. Raziskovalni del diplomskega dela se osredotoča na izsledke ankete. Anketiranci so se morali opredeliti glede koristnosti aplikacij za zdravje in zavedanja varnostnih vidikov. Rezultati so pokazali, da se anketiranci zavedajo nevarnosti zlorabe podatkov obenem pa prehitro zaupajo aplikacijam, saj jih veliko ne prebere pogojev uporabe.

Secondary title:	Information security of using mobile applications for health
Secondary abstract:	This paper focuses on mobile applications for health and their security aspect. Recent studies show that a vast majority of these applications lacks data security. Applications used both in healthcare and in sports are presented, and the benefits for the user are described. Despite their many positive factors for someone’s health, a special attention should be paid to the potentially harmful applications, which may harm the mobile device, and personal data can be stolen. Both developers and users have to consider security aspects, however the negligence on both sides can lead to many risks. Applications require numerous permissions from the user. If security is at risk, data leakage can occur, which can be identified using static or dynamic analysis or special applications. According to the latest research, over fifty percent of health applications feature security issues and the users are not aware of that. Solutions are described how the user can avoid risks: these are to check other user’s opinion about the application, create a strong password or a copy of the application. The research part of this paper focuses on the results of the survey. Participants were asked whether they find applications for health useful and whether they are aware of security issues. The results have shown that they are aware of the fact that their data can be misused. At the same time, they trust the applications too fast because they do not read terms of use.
