Android malware detection through permission and package

Malicious Android applications are a seriously problem due to the large share of the Android operating system market and also the flexibility of Android. An application should be checked before installing to a phone to avoid the privacy information leak. This paper proposes a static android malware detection method by using not only the permission but also the package of an Android application. The experimental results show the proposed method can detect the malicious software effectively. It suggests that the information provided by the package is useful for detection.
