Various static and dynamic analysis techniques are developed to detect and analyze Android malware. Some advanced Android malware can use Java reflection and JNI mechanisms to conceal their malicious behaviors for static analysis. Furthermore, for dynamic analysis, emulator detection and integrity selfchecking are used by Android malware to bypass all recent Android sandboxes. In this paper, we...

As the Android platform is widely used for embedded systems including smart mobile devices, the needs for systematic performance analysis have significantly increased. System performance is usually measured by benchmarks and profiler software. We studied on the performance of Android platform using a benchmark application and public profile software. For more detail and integrated performance a...

The widespread adoption of Android devices has attracted the attention of a growing computer security audience. Fundamental weaknesses and subtle design flaws of the Android architecture have been identified, studied and fixed, mostly through techniques from data-flow analysis, runtime protection mechanisms, or changes to the operating system. This paper complements this research by developing ...
