N2 - With the increase use of Android mobile phones, more Android malwares are being developed. Android malware detection becomes a crucial task. In this paper, we present a permission-combination-based scheme for Android malware detection. The Android malware detection scheme is based on permission combinations declared in the application manifest file. We obtain the permission combinations that are requested frequently by malwares but rarely by benign applications. We generate rule sets based on the permission combinations. Our experimental results show that the malware detection rate is up to 96%, and the benign application recognition rate is up to 88%. Our experimental results with real malwares show that the Android malware detection scheme is very efficient and effective.
