Abstract

We present PDIFT, a hybrid dynamic information-flow tracker. PDIFT is based on a thin hypervisor, which tracks information in coarse granularity but has a negligible performance overhead. PDIFT switches to its internally embedded emulator when the information is accessed and needs to be tracked with finer granularity. Using the combination of a thin hypervisor with an embedded emulator, we achieved a significant improvement in the overall performance. We believe that PDIFT can be used as an extension to the Android base DIFT systems that currently struggle with native code tracking.
