Abstract

Abstract:

To fortify Android devices against evolving threats, the project unfolds with a commitment to contribute to security endeavors significantly. The core purpose is to leverage machine-learning techniques, particularly deep-learning architectures, to construct robust mechanisms for identifying and classifying Android malware. A hybrid deep learning model combining Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) networks with Convolutional Neural Networks (CNN) is employed to classify the applications as benign or malicious. The LSTM-CNN model is designed to effectively capture both temporal dependencies and spatial patterns within the feature vectors. Additionally, a Random Forest classifier is used to identify the most important features for classification, improving the performance and efficiency of the deep learning model. The proposed approach is evaluated on the CICMalDroid2020 dataset, demonstrating its ability to detect and classify Android malware accurately. This highlights the effectiveness of static feature analysis combined with advanced deep learning architectures for enhancing Android malware detection systems.
