A Method based on Modified PageRank-Algorithm for Measuring and Rating Android Malwares

Abstract In recent years, mobile Internet has developed rapidly. Intelligent terminal play an increasingly important role in our lives and smart phone is the most popular intelligent terminal. Android as the market share of the largest platform has a lot of malicious applications deployed on it due to its openness and lack of strict supervision. In order to evaluate effectively on the app on the Android platform which may have malicious behavior, a method based on modified PageRank-algorithm is proposed in this paper. The basic design, implementation and example testing of the method for measuring and rating malicious applications based on android system are described.
