Abstract:
Android-based mobile devices are widely used due to their ease of use among users. Individuals perform various tasks on their mobile phones, such as banking activities, social networking, and diverse business systems, thereby exposing considerable personal information to risks due to the vulnerabilities of the Android operating system. The rapid development of Android malware has rendered many traditional malware detection methods less accurate over time. Research indicates that machine learning is an effective approach for detecting malware. The rapid evolution of malware contributes to the degradation of accuracy in trained models over time. Moreover, the collection of malware-related data from Android devices jeopardizes users' privacy. To address these issue, this paper employs federated and incremental learning. Recently, federated learning has been introduced for training machine learning models on decentralized devices with the aim of preserving privacy. This study utilizes a Multi-Layer Perceptron (MLP) within the framework of federated learning. Stacking, a type of ensemble learning, is employed for incremental learning. The CICMalDroid 2020 dataset is utilized in this research, using static data to develop the final model. The outcome of this study is a model with an accuracy of 96.49%, demonstrating significant improvement in computational time complexity along with maintaining the quality of learning and model accuracy compared to existing methods.
