Towards a 2-hybrid Android malware detection test framework

Current pervasive usage of mobile devices around the world has rose big security and data protection concerns both into the application development process as into the data security field. Although the long way of development in PC security malware treatment in the computer science and industrial areas, mobile devices security research and development have proved that in this area malware treatment goes far beyond PC malware analysis and prevention techniques replication. In this context, this paper provides a description of a current open-ended project aimed to produce a 2-hybrid malware detection test framework. Based on the current trends of hybrid malware analysis, in this work the term 2-hybrid implies both a local(host)-remote(server/cloud) implementation and a static-dynamic analysis approach.
