An automated virtual security testing platform for android mobile apps

摘要

This paper proposes an automated virtual security testing platform for Android mobile apps. The testing platform includes three key components: customizing Android OS to include mobile app trace information, creating a virtual testing platform using the customized OS, and developing static and dynamic analyzing techniques for mobile malware detection. The proposed testing platform is a server-side malware detection solution. It can utilize both static and dynamic analysis and is a good compensation to the client-side mobile security software.
