Paper Abstract
The growing in use of smart mobile devices for everyday applications has stimulated the spread of mobile malware,
especially on popular mobile platforms. As a consequence, malware detection becomes ever more critical in sustaining the
mobile market and providing a better user experience. In this paper, we review the existing malware and detection schemes.
Using real-world malware samples with known signatures, we evaluate four popular commercial anti-virus tools and our
data shows that these tools can achieve high detection accuracy. To deal with the new malware with unknown signatures,
we study the anomaly based detection using decision tree algorithm. We evaluate the effectiveness of our detection scheme
using malware and legitimate software samples. Our data shows that the detection scheme using decision tree can achieve
a detection rate up to 90% and a false positive rate as low as 10%.
