Abstract
Software applications to be installed on user devices are monitored. Authenticity of the applications is evaluated using a plurality of inputs to provide a result. The plurality of inputs may include trust factors. The trust factors may be used to generate a security evaluation. In response to the result, an action is performed such as providing a notification to a developer of a fraudulent version of an application or providing a security assessment for an application.
