Developing Adversary-Aware Classifiers for Android Malware Detection. Smartphones have become increasingly ubiquitous in people’s everyday life. However, it was reported that one in every five Android applications were actually malware, considering that Android has taken 88% market share of mobile phones. As an effective technique, machine learning has been widely adopted to detect Android malware.

Smartphones have become increasingly ubiquitous in people’s everyday life. However, it was reported that one in every five Android applications were actually malware, considering that Android has taken 88% market share of mobile phones. As an effective technique, machine learning has been widely adopted to detect Android malware. However, recent work suggests that deliberately-crafted malware makes machine learning ineffective. In this project, we propose to develop a series of new techniques, such as 1) Android contextual analysis, 2) wrapper-based hill climbing algorithm, and 3) ensemble learning, to solve this problem. The outcomes will help Australia gain cutting edge technologies in adversarial machine learning and mobile security.Read moreRead less
