III. PROBLEM STATEMENT
Most of the existing commercial anti-virus applications are based on the signature analysis. They will do the matching of extracted signature of an application with the already available signatures in the database. The problem with such applications is that they are vulnerable to zero-day exploits as nowadays the malware writers are capable of creating a new signature by their own to bypass the anti-virus software. Furthermore, they can encrypt or obfuscate the malicious code to make the signature analysis more difficult. There is a security check done by the play store to stop the uploading of malicious applications into it. But the truth is that there are a lot of malicious applications available in play store …show more content…

The expected minimum success rate for the system is above 90%.
VI. RELATED WORK
Most of the existing techniques are based on the signature analysis and this, in turn, is based on the signatures stored in the database of an anti-virus application. The antivirus software will do a comparison of the new extracted signature with the existing signature in the database. If a match found, it will consider it as a malicious application. This makes it vulnerable to zero-day exploits as it is not a tough job for malware writers to create a new signature to bypass the existing technique. Apart from creating a new signature, the malware writers can also modify the signatures during the runtime.
The truth is that there are a lot of malicious apps in the Play store even after performing a security check before uploading any application to it. This increases the need for an application which can find the maliciousness of another application. This application should be able to monitor the targeted application continuously. The system will be working on the basis of a machine learning algorithm and it should be able to identify the patterns in the program properties in order to carry out the operation. The main aim is to achieve a system with a success rate of at least 90%.
VII. CONCLUSION
As the technology is opening so many new methods for the attackers, we also need to utilize the same technology to implement counter methods to
