2. NOVEL APPROACH TO DETECT MALWARE ATTACKS IN SMARTPHONE APPLICATIONS

摘要

The wide scale adoption of smartphones is facilitated by innovative applications available in application markets, such as Apple App Store and Google Play Store. Though these markets distribute a large number of solutions and dedicate significant resources to protect applications from malware, sophisticated application hacking techniques could easily bypass the malware detection solutions using logic bombs. Logic bombs inserted into the code, intentionally execute the malicious codes when certain parameters are met. These hidden malicious codes could be used for sensitive data theft. They even have the capability to crash the system, which could lead to huge losses for users. This has generated the need for a solution/technique, which could protect users' data by identifying the application behavior prior to execution into the main system.
