Evaluation of Advanced Ensemble Learning Techniques for Android Malware Detection

Abstract

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.
