自從Apple的iPhone以及Google的Android系列智慧型手機在2007與2008上市後，智慧型手機的市占率便節節上升，而其中又以Android系統的智慧型手機之市占率成長率最為顯著。智慧型手機能夠成功擄獲使用者的心的最主要的原因之一就是在官方App市集(App Store、Google Play)上資源豐富的App。由於Android系統的開放性以及有些熱心使用者會將一些原本需要付費的App重新封裝後供他人下載，一般的使用者即可輕易的在自己的智慧型手機上安裝第三方市集上所下載之App。然而，由於第三方市集上之App毋須經過官方認證，因此出現惡意App之機率較高。
本研究先側錄了App執行時、閒置時所使用到的System Call以及App所要求之權限，接著使用資料探勘(Data Mining)的技術來比較官方市集與已知惡意App之紀錄差異，再使用機器學習(Machine Learning)之技術來建造偵測模型，未來即可使用此模型來偵測未知之惡意App，最後再使用特徵選取(Attribute Selection)之演算法來進行降維的動作，降低偵測所需要的時間。本研究實驗結果顯示，本研究所使用之方法對於App的正確判別率可以超過96%，且根據模型偵測之結果，第三方市集上約莫有20%的App含有惡意行為。

Since Apple and Google introduced iPhone and Android smartphones in 2007 and 2008, the market share of smartphones has been on the increase. Above all, the market share of Android devices has had the most significant increment. One of the reasons that smartphones became so successful is because of the official application store(App Store and Google Play).

In this research, first we recorded the system calls an App uses while in execution and while idle as well as the permissions it requested. We then used the techniques of data mining to find record differences between malicious Apps and benign Apps, and machine learning techniques to build the model for detecting unknown malicious Apps. Finally, with the help of attribute selection methods, we reduced the time cost by using less attributes. The experiment results showed that the accuracy achieved more than 96% with proposed scheme, and that approximately 20% of the Apps of third-party market acts maliciously.
