  • In general, the benign apps transmit privacy information to the external to provide service to users as the malicious app does. In other words, the behavior of benign apps is similar to the one of malicious apps. Thus, the benign app can be easily manipulated for malicious purposes. Therefore, the malicious apps as well as the benign apps should notify the users of the possibility of privacy information leakage before installation to prevent the potential malicious behavior. In this paper, We propose the method to detect leakage of privacy information on the android app by analyzing API inter-dependency and shortest distance. Also, we present LeakDroid which detects leakage of privacy information on Android with the above method. Unlike dynamic approaches, LeakDroid analyzes Android apps on market site. To verify the privacy information leakage detection of LeakDroid, we experimented the well-known 250 malicious apps and the 1700 benign apps collected from Android Third party market. Our evaluation result shows that LeakDroid reached detection rate of 96.4% in the malicious apps and detected 68 true privacy information leakages inside the 1700 benign apps.

  • Malicious codes cause damage to equipments while avoiding detection programs(vaccines). The reason why it is difficult to detect such these new malwares using the existing vaccines is that they use "signature-based" detection techniques. these techniques effectively detect already known malicious codes, however, they have problems about detecting new malicious codes. Therefore, most of vaccines have recognized these drawbacks and additionally make use of "heuristic" techniques. This paper proposes a technology to detecting unknown malicious code using deep learning. In addition, detecting malware skill using Supervisor Learning approach has a clear limitation. This is because, there are countless files that can be run on the devices. Thus, this paper utilizes Stacked Convolution AutoEncoder(SCAE) known as Semi-Supervisor Learning. To be specific, byte information of file was extracted, imaging was carried out, and these images were learned to model. Finally, Accuracy of 98.84% was achieved as a result of inferring unlearned malicious and non-malicious codes to the model.

  • Nowadays, a lot of techniques have been applied for the detection of malicious behavior. However, the current techniques taken into practice are facing with the challenge of much variations of the original malicious behavior, and it is impossible to respond the new forms of behavior appropriately and timely. There are also some limitations can not be solved, such as the error affirmation (positive false) and mistaken obliquity (negative false). With the questions above, we suggest a new method here to improve the current situation. To detect the malicious code, we put forward dealing with the basic source code units through the conceptual graph. Basically, we use conceptual graph to define malicious behavior, and then we are able to compare the similarity relations of the malicious behavior by testing the formalized values which generated by the predefined graphs in the code. In this paper, we show how to make a conceptual graph and propose an efficient method for similarity measure to discern the malicious behavior. As a result of our experiment, we can get more efficient detection rate.

  • Analyzing the code using static heuristics is a widely used technique for detecting unknown malicious codes. It decides the maliciousness of a code by searching for some fragments that had been frequently found in known malicious codes. However, in script codes, it tries to search for sequences of method calls, not code fragments, because finding such fragments is much difficult. This technique makes many false alarms because such method calls can be also used in normal scripts. Thus, static heuristics for scripts are used only to detect malicious behavior consisting of specific method calls which is seldom used in normal scripts. In this paper. we suggest a static analysis that can detect malicious behavior more accurately, by concerning not only the method calls but also parameters and return values. The result of experiments show that malicious behaviors, which were difficult to detect by previous works, due to high false positive, will be detected by our method.

  • As the innovative internet technologies and multimedia are being rapidly developed, malicious codes are a remarkable new growth part and supplied by various channel. This project presents a classification methodology for malicious codes in Windows OS (Operating System) environment, develops a test classification system. Thousands of malicious codes are brought in every day. In a result, classification system is needed to analyzers for supporting information which newly brought malicious codes are a new species or a variety. This system provides the similarity for analyzers to judge how much a new species or a variety is different to the known malicious code. It provides to save time and effort, to less a faulty analysis. This research includes the design of classification system and test system. We classify the malicious codes to 9 groups and then 9 groups divide the clusters according to the each property.

  • Malware files containing concealed malicious scripts have recently been identified within MS Office documents frequently. In response, this paper describes the design and implementation of a system that automatically detects malicious digital files using machine learning techniques. The system is proficient in identifying malicious scripts within MS Office files that exploit the OLE VBA macro functionality, detecting malicious scripts embedded within the CDH/LFH/ECDR internal field values through OOXML structure analysis, and recognizing abnormal CDH/LFH information introduced within the OOXML structure, which is not conventionally referenced. Furthermore, this paper presents a mechanism for utilizing the VirusTotal malicious script detection feature to autonomously determine instances of malicious tampering within MS Office files. This leads to the design and implementation of a machine learning-based integrated software. Experimental results confirm the software's capacity to autonomously assess MS Office file's integrity and provide enhanced detection performance for arbitrary MS Office files when employing the optimal machine learning model.

  • Cloud computing is a new style of computing in which dynamically scalable and reconfigurable resources are provided as a service over the internet. The MapReduce framework is currently the most dominant programming model in cloud computing. It is necessary to protect the integrity of MapReduce data processing services. Malicious workers, who can be divided into collusive workers and non-collusive workers, try to generate bad results in order to attack the cloud computing. So, figuring out how to efficiently detect the malicious workers has been very important, as existing solutions are not effective enough in defeating malicious behavior. In this paper, we propose a security protection framework to detect the malicious workers and ensure computation integrity in the map phase of MapReduce. Our simulation results show that our proposed security protection framework can efficiently detect both collusive and non-collusive workers and guarantee high computation accuracy.
