Android has become increasingly popular due to the wide availability of applications across multiple app stores. Previous studies have proposed malware detection models based on centralized techniques; however, these approaches raise significant privacy concerns for users. To overcome this limitation, we propose a federated learning-based framework that enables privacy-preserving malware detection. The framework employs a Deep Neural Network (DNN) for training on the cloud side, while a semi- supervised machine learning approach is applied on the client side. Experiments were conducted on a dataset of 2,00,000 Android applications distributed across 200 clients over multiple rounds of federation. Results show that the proposed framework achieves 98.7% accuracy when tested on real-world applications, highlighting its effectiveness and applicability.

摘要

Android has become increasingly popular due to the wide availability of applications across multiple app stores. Previous studies have proposed malware detection models based on centralized techniques; however, these approaches raise significant privacy concerns for users. To overcome this limitation, we propose a federated learning-based framework that enables privacy-preserving malware detection. The framework employs a Deep Neural Network (DNN) for training on the cloud side, while a semi- supervised machine learning approach is applied on the client side. Experiments were conducted on a dataset of 2,00,000 Android applications distributed across 200 clients over multiple rounds of federation. Results show that the proposed framework achieves 98.7% accuracy when tested on real-world applications, highlighting its effectiveness and applicability.
