Abstract :

Despite the continuous evolution and significant improvement of cybersecurity mechanisms, malware threats remain one of the most important concerns in cyberspace. Meanwhile, Android malware plays a big role in these ever-growing threats. In recent years, deep learning has become the dominant machine learning technique for malware detection and continues to make outstanding achievements. Deep graph representation learning is the task of embedding graph-structured data into a low-dimensional space using deep learning models. Recently, autoencoders have proven to be an effective way for deep representation learning. However, it is not straightforward to apply the idea of autoencoder to graph-structured data because of their irregular structure. In this paper, we present DroidMalGNN, a novel deep learning technique that combines autoencoders with graph neural networks (GNNs) to detect Android malware in an end-to-end manner. DroidMalGNN represents each Android application with an attributed function call graph (AFCG) that allows it to model complex relationships between data. For more efficiency, DroidMalGNN performs graph representation learning in a supervised manner where two autoencoders are trained with benign and malicious AFCGs separately. In this way, it generates two informative embedding vectors for each AFCG in a low-dimensional space and feeds them into a dense neural network to classify the AFCG as benign or malicious. Our experimental results show that DroidMalGNN can achieve good detection performance in terms of different evaluation measures.
