Abstract(in English) As the 2020 Tokyo Olympics are approaching, the possibility of being targeted by attackers has further increased in Japan. In order to prevent cyber attacks, machine learning technology that is spreading in various fields including images and voices recognition is also being used in the cyber security field. However, there are many adversarial attack methods that trick machine learning models and cause it to malfunction. In this study, we propose a robust malware detection model that is strong against adversarial attack methods combining dimensional compression and machine learning, and evaluates robustness using PE file's information from FFRI Dataset 2018. Measure the effectiveness and superiority of the proposed method from the viewpoint of robustness other than detection accuracy by measuring the distance(Euclidean distance between centroids, etc.) between malware and normal file data and evaluating the success rate of the attack method (SVM-Attack) is shown in this study.
