Hi!
Every permission on Android even the ones created by developers have an
attribute called *protectionLevel. *This can be *normal, dangerous,
signature *and *signatureOrSystem. *
The risky permissions are the ones marked as *dangerous, * because these
permissions given to the wrong application can give access to private user
data exposing the user
to maliciuos actions.
Given the *protectionLevel* you can calculate a risk score based on the
number of permissions an application has and the protectionLevel of every
permission. In order to make
a good observation of your installed applications risk level you can
exclude system applications.
More details about the *protectionLevel * you can find on the official
Android developers website:
http://developer.android.com/guide/topics/manifest/permission-element.html
Hope it helps! Good luck!
