Abstract: The applications that we use in our mobile devices often access sensitive data and resources. But when the users data has been misused due to some malicious applications which may lead to leakage of sensitive data and also reflect in privacy. An example is a malicious application records users banking details. The problem starts when the user have installed the application by granting all the privileges on which the user have no control on operating the features. To avoid this problem we propose a context based access control system by which a user can activate and deactivate some of the applications that are already present in the users mobile based on the context that is provided. It can also perform its action in a particular location by using GPS, Wi-Fi etc.. based on the context that is provided by the user. We have preformed many experiments for accessing the data in a particular location based on context.
