Review on The Efficiency of Smartphone Anti-malware Against Transformation Attacks

Abstract

In this paper we have reviewed and analyzed different android anti-malwares. This is based on Information Forensics and security. Different transformation attacks are applied on anti-malwares. The term transformation is used to denote semantics preserving changes to program. We have reviewed Droid Chameleon technique which is applied to malware samples. By doing so the anti-malwares and their resistance to various common obfuscation techniques are analyzed. The possible remedies for improving the current state of malware detection on mobile devices can be found using a larger malware samples.
Key Words: mobile, malware, anti-malware, transformation.
