Abstract:

The primary goal for Five Directions during the APAC program was to measure the effectiveness and efficiency of the R and D teams in detecting malware in Android applications. In order to achieve this goal, experiments were designed to test the tools being developed by the Research and Development R and D teams against malicious Android applications.The design of these experiments, the performance results they generated, and the lessons learned while implementing them are the main topics of this report.
