This work presents an automatic methodology able to improve ma-chine-generated signatures for Android Malware detection. The technique relies on a population-less evolutionary algorithm and uses an unorthodox fitness function that incorporates unsystematic human experts knowledge in the form of a set of rules of thumb. The proposed optimization algorithm does not require to rank the individuals, as exploiting experts knowledge, the resulting population of candidate solutions is not a totally ordered set any more. Experimental results show that the resulting signatures are of good quality and more accurate than the original ones, lowering both false positives and negatives.

Abstract
This work presents an automatic methodology able to improve ma-chine-generated signatures for Android Malware detection. The technique relies on a population-less evolutionary algorithm and uses an unorthodox fitness function that incorporates unsystematic human experts knowledge in the form of a set of rules of thumb. The proposed optimization algorithm does not require to rank the individuals, as exploiting experts knowledge, the resulting population of candidate solutions is not a totally ordered set any more. Experimental results show that the resulting signatures are of good quality and more accurate than the original ones, lowering both false positives and negatives.File | Dimensione | Formato | |
