Description
Résumé:Android is designed for mobile devices and its open-source software. The growth and popularity of android platform are high compared to another platform. Due to its glory, the number of malware has been increasing exponentially. Android system used a permission mechanism to allow users and developers to manage their access to private information, system resources, and data storage required by Android applications (apps). It became an advantage to an attacker to violent the data. This paper proposes a novel framework for Android malware detection. Our framework used three major methods for effective feature representation on malware detection and used this method to classify malware and benign. The result demonstrates that the Random forest is with 23 features is more accurate detection than the other machine learning algorithm.
