An Improved Feature Vector storage metric for fast Android Malware Detection Framework

Journal Title: IOSR Journals (IOSR Journal of Computer Engineering) - Year 2015, Vol 17, Issue 4

Abstract

Abstract: Android based devices are rapidly flourishing day-by-day, due to its ease of use and popularity. As a result, the number of malware attacks on Android is also increasing. This paper is based on the Text Miningapproach for analyzing Android malware families. The proposed methodology is motivated by the method introduced by Guillermo Suarez-Tangil which aims to automate malware analysis process based on DENDROID. The main issue in this regard is the storage of Family Feature Vectors (FFV) which is stored assparse matrix. Therefore, this work presents a novel concept of Compressed Row Storage (CRS) to store the statistical features intellectually. By implementing this methodology, the FFV of Malware families are stored in an efficient manner. The experimental result proves that the large reduction (79%) in space needed to store FFV which incorporates only the non-zero elements is observed. This eventually leads to the reduction in theFeature Vector generation time and the Total process time. The proposed methodology will reduce the dimensionality and hence the time searching for a particular malware family signature
