Security• Android applications run in a

sandbox, an isolated area of the operating system that does not have access to the rest of the system's resources, unless access permissions are granted by the user when the application is installed. Before installing an application, Android Market displays all required permissions.

• Security Architecture of Marshmallow is different. Permissions may be asked on runtime.
