Abstract

An approach is provided for providing an offline malware detection, and in addition a real-time malware detection. The offline malware detection may comprise: detecting at least one of function calling map of the application offline, wherein a function calling map records relationships of callings among functions called by the application; extracting patterns of the function callings of the application from the at least one function calling map; and comparing the extracted pattern with at least one basic pattern of normal applications. The real-time malware detection may comprises: running an application in a real environment; recording behaviors of the application at runtime of the application; extracting behavior patterns from the recorded behaviors; and comparing the extracted behavior patterns with at least one of basic patterns of normal applications or patterns previously recorded for the application.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates generally to computer and network security. More specifically, the present invention relates to malware detection. Background technique [0002] Mobile devices have evolved into open platforms for executing various applications. An application, also referred to as an "app," generally refers to a software application executable on a computing device, such as a mobile device. Apps, especially mobile apps, for example, enhance many of our daily activities by instantly accessing vast amounts of information on the Internet and providing various functions. The rapid growth of mobile apps will play a key role in the success of the future mobile internet and economy. Today there are more than one million mobile apps and about 2000 new apps are launched into the market every day. [0003] However, mobile apps can be malicious, buggy, run unexpectedly or introduce security holes to mobile devices. Furthermore, malicious apps ma...
