Abstract(in English) The number of security incidents faced by Android users is growing, along with the surge in malware targeting Android terminals. Such malware arrives at the Android terminals in the form of Android Packages (APKs). Assorted techniques for protecting Android users from such malware have been reported, but most of them focus on the APK files themselves. Different from these approaches, we use web information obtained from the online APK markets to improve the accuracy of malware detection. In this paper, we propose category-based APK analysis schemes that quantify the risk of an APK. The scheme uses category information that is available on the web. This paper verifies the performance of the proposed scheme by comparing its area under curve values with that of a conventional scheme, and confirms the usability of web information for the purpose of better quantifying the risks of APK files.
