  • In order to improve the detection efficiency of Android malicious application, an Android malware detection system based on feature fusion is proposed on three levels. Feature fusion especially emphasizes on ten categories, which combines static and dynamic features and includes 377 features for classification. In order to improve the accuracy of malware detection, attribute subset selection and principle component analysis are used to reduce the dimensionality of fusion features. Random forest is used for classification. In the experiment, the dataset includes 43,822 benign applications and 8,454 malicious applications. The method can achieve 99.4% detection accuracy and 0.6% false positive rate. The experimental results show that the detection method can improve the malware detection efficiency in Android platform.
