Android Malicious Application Classification Using Clustering
share
Android malware have been growing at an exponential pace and becomes a serious threat to mobile users. It appears that most of the anti-malware still relies on the signature-based detection system which is generally slow and often not able to detect advanced obfuscated malware. Hence time-to-time various authors have proposed different machine learning solutions to identify sophisticated malware. However, it appears that detection accuracy can be improved by using the clustering method. Therefore in this paper, we propose a novel scalable and effective clustering method to improve the detection accuracy of the malicious android application and obtained a better overall accuracy (98.34 taking the data altogether to detect the malware. However, as far as true positive and true negative are concerned, by clustering method, true positive is best obtained by decision tree (97.59 machine (99.96 true positive (97.30 overall accuracy of random forest is high because the true positive of support vector machine and true negative of the decision tree is significantly less than the random forest.
