SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR WHITELISTING APPLICATIONS IN A MOBILE NETWORK ENVIRONMENT

摘要

One or more attributes of an application in a plurality of applications is identified. A reputation score of the application is determined based at least in part on the identified attributes to determining whether the application should be included in a whitelist. The whitelist can be applied against a request to download the application on a mobile device. In some aspects, the whitelist can be generated through automated collection and analysis of applications available for download by one or more different types of mobile devices in one or more networks. In some aspects, the whitelist can be applied by blocking attempts to download applications determined not to be included in the whitelist.
