Behaviour analysis of inter-app communication using a lightweight monitoring app for malware detection

作者:

Highlights:

• Detecting malicious applications using a proposed lightweight monitoring system.

• Malware apps detected by behaviour analysis of the app activities with log files.

• Policy-based permissions are evaluated from those log files for behaviour analysis.

• Then the malware apps will be denied or granted to use other apps’ permissions.

• Our design acquired accuracy of 95% comparing with existing ones.
