Abstract: To increase the productivity of business users Smartphones are very effective tools. In smartphones the end users can perform several tasks and they can always be updated because of their increasing computational power and storage capacity. As there is the increase in productivity of employees the companies are willing to support the employee-owned smartphones. The issues about security concerns such as Data loss, Data Sharing and Data leakage have reduced the usage of smartphones for companies. In this paper, we introduced Moses, which is a policy based framework to enforce the isolation of application by using the software and the data in the android platform. Through MOSES it is possible to show different Security Profiles in a individual smartphone. Every security profiles consists of an policies which controls the accessing of data and applications. Where these profiles are not hardcoded or predefined because of which it can be used at any time. One important role of the MOSES is to dynamically switch between one security profile to another security profile.
