Android is the most well-known portable working framework having billions of dynamic clients worldwide that pulled in promoters, programmers, and cybercriminals to create malware for different purposes. As of late, wide-running inquiries have been led on malware examination and identification for Android gadgets while Android has likewise actualized different security controls to manage the malware issues, including a User ID (UID) for every application, framework authorizations. In this paper, we advance and assess various kinds of machine learning (ML) by applying ensemble-based learning systems for identifying Android malware related to a substring-based feature selection (SBFS) strategy for the classifiers. In the investigation, we have broadened our previous work where it has been seen that the ensemble-based learning techniques acquire preferred outcome over the recently revealed outcome by directing the DREBIN dataset, and in this manner they give a solid premise to building compelling instruments for Android malware detection.

The Individual

<p class="0abstract">The open source nature of Android Operating System has attracted wider adoption of the system by multiple types of developers. This phenomenon has further fostered an exponential proliferation of devices running the Android OS into different sectors of the economy. Although this development has brought about great technological advancements and ease of doing businesses (e-commerce) and social interactions, they have however become strong mediums for the uncontrolled rising cyberattacks and espionage against business infrastructures and the individual users of these mobile devices. Different cyberattacks techniques exist but attacks through malicious applications have taken the lead aside other attack methods like social engineering. Android malware have evolved in sophistications and intelligence that they have become highly resistant to existing detection systems especially those that are signature-based. Machine learning techniques have risen to become a more competent choice for combating the kind of sophistications and novelty deployed by emerging Android malwares. The models created via machine learning methods work by first learning the existing patterns of malware behaviour and then use this knowledge to separate or identify any such similar behaviour from unknown attacks. This paper provided a comprehensive review of machine learning techniques and their applications in Android malware detection as found in contemporary literature.</p>

The Impact

Malware detection at scale in the Android realm is often carried out using machine learning techniques. State-of-the-art approaches such as DREBIN and MaMaDroid are reported to yield high detection rates when assessed against well-known datasets. Unfortunately, such datasets may include a large portion of duplicated samples, which may bias recorded experimental results and insights. In this article, we perform extensive experiments to measure the performance gap that occurs when datasets are de-duplicated. Our experimental results reveal that duplication in published datasets has a limited impact on supervised malware classification models. This observation contrasts with the finding of Allamanis on the general case of machine learning bias for big code. Our experiments, however, show that sample duplication more substantially affects unsupervised learning models (e.g., malware family clustering). Nevertheless, we argue that our fellow researchers and practitioners should always take sample duplication into consideration when performing machine-learning-based (via either supervised or unsupervised learning) Android malware detections, no matter how significant the impact might be.

Significant Research

Android is the most popular Operating Systems with over 2.5 billion devices across the globe. The popularity of this OS has unfortunately made the devices and the services they enable, vulnerable to numerous security threats. As a result of this, a significant research is being done in the field of Android Malware Detection employing Machine Learning Algorithms. Our current work emphasizes on the possible use of Machine Learning techniques for the detection of malware on such android devices. The proposed EKMPRFG is applied for the classification of Android Malware after a preprocessing phase involving a hybrid Feature Selection model using proposed Standard Deviation of Standard Deviation of Ranks (SDSDR) and several other builtin Feature Selection algorithms such as Correlation based Feature Selection (CFS), Classifier SubsetEval, Consistency SubsetEval, and Filtered SubsetEval followed by Principal Component Analysis(PCA) for dimensionality reduction. The experimental results obtained on two data sets indicate that EKMPRFG outperforms the existing works in terms of Prediction Accuracy and Weighted F- Measure values.
