Abstract:

The Android trademark Operating System OS is far and away the most popular OS for mobile devices. However, the ease of entry into the Android trademark Marketplace allows for easy distribution of malware. This paper surveys malware distribution methodologies, and then describes current work being done to determine the risk that an app is infected. App analysis methods discussed include code and behavioral analysis methods.
