- Abstract
- This study attempts to reduce the hidden danger of Android application installation. Regular methods for detecting malicious software need a great amount of sample data to implement the feature extraction and behavior matching, which makes the detection difficult and complex. We propose an automatic modeling method based on the analysis of the source code to describe the behavior of the application with its components. An attack graph was then drawn to visualize the application framework and elements related safety, with which the users could have a deeper acknowledgment about the hidden danger instead of the fuzzy recognition of the traditional show of permission applied before the installation of the application. The automatic modeling method allows the user to protect their private data with little difficulty, and less complexity than traditional software analysis methods.
