Abstract

Android is a mobile operating system based on a modified version of the Linux kernel and other open-source tools. Due to its system efficiency and the multitude of features it offers to users, the Android operating system has taken a leading position in the technology market and often attracts the attention of cybercriminals. As malware continues to evolve, traditional methods for detecting Android malware, such as signature-based approaches, may not be sufficient to detect the latest malware threats. Therefore, this research proposes a deep learning algorithm, specifically Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) and Component Analysis (PCA), for feature extraction to enhance the accuracy of Android malware detection. The dataset used in this study is the CICAndMal2017 dataset. Testing results are evaluated using three parameters: accuracy, precision, and recall. Experimental results indicate that our deep learning approach outperforms many other methods with an accuracy of 91%.
