SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR PRIVATELY PERFORMING APPLICATION SECURITY ANALYSIS

A method for privately performing application security analysis is disclosed. The method generates, for an application residing on a mobile device (510), at least one cryptographic representation of a company identifier and at least one type of application information. The method transmits the at least one cryptographic representation for determination of whether the application is permitted for a company identified by the company identifier. The determination is then received and indicates whether the application is permitted for the company. In response to a request to install another application on the mobile device (510), the method generates at least one other cryptographic representation of at least one type of application information for the other application, the at least one other cryptographic representation being a composite hash of both a name of the other application and the company identifier, transmits the at least one other cryptographic representation for determination of whether the other application is permitted for the company, and receives the determination indicating whether the other application is permitted or not permitted for the company associated with the company identifier.
