摘要

Our contemporary digital existence is intricately intertwined with the realm of Android-based smart devices, delivering unparalleled convenience across personal, professional, and social dimensions. However, this profound connectivity exposes us to an escalating barrage of malicious attacks, with Android smartphones emerging as prominent targets. To cultivate a secure, intelligent, and lasting digital environment, we must advance the field of Android malware detection while mitigating the need for frequent retraining. Presently, existing solutions for malware detection on Android devices grapple with persistent challenges, chief among them being the high incidence of false positives and the limited capacity to identify emerging threats. In response, this paper introduces an innovative approach that achieves an outstanding 98% accuracy in malware detection through the power of deep learning techniques. This study is grounded in a dataset comprising 1000 APK files, evenly distributed between benign and malicious samples (500 each), and leverages advanced deep learning methodologies and feature extraction strategies. The overarching objective is to fortify Android-based smart devices against the ever-evolving landscape of cyber threats. In summary, the research charts a course towards elevated security, heightened resilience, and the enduring relevance of Android-based smart devices in the fabric of daily lives, all made possible through the capabilities of deep learning. Furthermore, detailed classification results for varying dataset sizes, including 200, 500, and 1000 APK files, showcase the scalability and robustness of the approach in effectively detecting malware.
