Abstract
Android OS is one of the widely used mobile Operating Systems. Given Android’s popularity, the number of malicious applications and adwares are increasing constantly on par with the number of mobile devices. At present a great number of commercial signature based tools are available on the market which prevent to an extent the penetration and distribution of malicious applications. Numerous researches have been conducted which claims that traditional signature based detection system work well up to certain level and malware authors use numerous techniques to evade these tools. So given this state of affairs, there is an increasing need for an alternative, really tough malware detection system to complement and rectify the signature based system. Recent substantial research focused on machine learning algorithms that analyze features from malicious application and use those features to classify and detect unknown malicious applications. This thesis summarizes the usage of Text Mining or Information Retrieval Machine Learning algorithms used to detect malicious Android applications.
