Malware security for Android Components using Layer permission

Abstract

Today’s open source android smartphone operating system is adept of executing the multifaceted and enormous application, which increases the installation of diverse applications with increase in chance of installation of malware application. The behavior pattern of android is depicted by the requested permission of application. System explores a way to detect malware application based on requested permission by the application. Detection of malware application is done in two steps; first step is to selecting representative features by applying the FAST algorithm. Whereas representative feature is extracted permissions, requested in the application. In second step classification of application is done as a malware or benign application using support vector machine (SVM). Using FAST and SVM algorithms system can discriminate android application as malware also enrich the performance of malware detection system.
