Dissecting Android Malware: Characterization and Evolution
Yajin Zhou,Xuxian Jiang +1 more
TL;DR: Systematize or characterize existing Android malware from various aspects, including their installation methods, activation mechanisms as well as the nature of carried malicious payloads reveal that they are evolving rapidly to circumvent the detection from existing mobile anti-virus software.

Hey, You, Get Off of My Market: Detecting Malicious Apps in Official and Alternative Android Markets
TL;DR: A permissionbased behavioral footprinting scheme to detect new samples of known Android malware families and a heuristics-based filtering scheme to identify certain inherent behaviors of unknown malicious families are proposed.
Proceedings ArticleDOI
RiskRanker: scalable and accurate zero-day android malware detection
TL;DR: An automated system called RiskRanker is developed to scalably analyze whether a particular app exhibits dangerous behavior and is used to produce a prioritized list of reduced apps that merit further investigation, demonstrating the efficacy and scalability of riskRanker to police Android markets of all stripes.

Detecting repackaged smartphone applications in third-party android marketplaces
TL;DR: An app similarity measurement system called DroidMOSS is implemented that applies a fuzzy hashing technique to effectively localize and detect the changes from app-repackaging behavior, which shows a worrisome fact that 5% to 13% of apps hosted on six popular Android-based third-party marketplaces are repackaged.
Proceedings Article
Systematic Detection of Capability Leaks in Stock Android Smartphones.
TL;DR: This paper analyzes eight popular Android smartphones and discovers that the stock phone images do not properly enforce the permission model, leaving several privileged permissions unsafely exposed to other applications which do not need to request them for the actual use.
