Runtime-Based Behavior Dynamic Analysis System for Android Malware Detection

Abstract

The most serious threats for Android users is come from application, However, the market lack a mechanism to validate whether these applications are malware or not. So, malware maybe leak users private information, malicious deductions for send premium SMS, get root privilege of the Android system and so on. In the traditional method of malware detection, signature is the only basis. It is far enough. In this paper, we propose a runtime-based behavior dynamic analysis for Android malware detection. The new scheme can be implemented as a system. We analyze 350 applications come from third-party Android market, the result show that our system can effectively detect unknown malware and the malicious behavior of malware.
