    1. The document discusses the co-evolution of mobile malware and anti-malware software. As malware evolves to evade detection, anti-malware software also evolves to detect both known and new types of malware. 2. A conceptual model is presented where mobile malware and anti-malware are separated into two co-evolving subpopulations. Each has its own fitness function to evaluate the other. 3. The experiment aims to test anti-malware software against new malware generated through genetic programming, simulating the ongoing arms race between malicious software and security solutions.

    is evolving better individuals among multiple species affecting each


    other. When one species evolves, the relationship of this species with
    other species also changes. Species affect each other in order to evolve
    better through each generation. When this philosophy is applied to
    computer science, coevolution is used against problems that are aiming to
    improve multiple systems simultaneously. These problems can be
    cooperative or competitive; however, most problems in the security field
    are competitive problems known as the arms race. There are limited
    resources in competitive problems and species compete with each other in
    order to use more resources. In a competitive problem, while the fitness
    value of one species increases, the fitness value of its rivals decreases, or
    vice versa. In the experiment for this study, malicious software competes
    with anti-malware. While malware tries to survive against anti-malware
    software through evasion, the anti-malware software aims to detect both
    known and new kinds or variants of malware. The conceptual scheme of
    mobile malware/anti-malware co- evolution is illustrated in Figure 4. The
    coevolution framework is based on malware and anti-malware evolutions
    as previously described in Sections III and IV. Two subpopulations were
    used in this model; with the first consisting of malware and the other of
    anti-malware. The representations of malware and anti-malware are used
    as in the malware and anti-malware evolutions, respectively. There is a
    variance on how fitness values are calculated. Two fitness functions were
    used; one for malware evolution and the other for anti-malware evolu-
    tion. However, in this experiment the fitness function is not evaluated on a
    static dataset. The population of each system is used as an input for
    evaluating the fitness value of the other system. Hence, coevolution is
    carried out on dynamic datasets in each ...
    Co Evolution of Mobile Malware and Anti-Malware

    Introduction.
    Mobile devices have become an integral part of daily life. They provide many useful functions
    such as the ability to read and write e-mail, surf the internet, indicate nearby facilities, video
    conferencing, and voice recognition, to name but a few. However, the popularity and adaptation
    of mobile devices also attract malware writers to develop mobile malware in order to harm
    these devices. In order to protect mobile devices from such threats, researchers and security
    companies work to develop effective and efficient anti-malware system. There are some
    techniques available for malware analysis and detection with varying strengths and weaknesses.
    Two common types of malware detection techniques, according to how the code is analyzed,
    are static and dynamic analysis. They can also be combined to hybrid solutions. Since dynamic
    analysis might not be affordable on some mobile devices due to their significant limitations in
    terms of power consumption, most of the proposed approaches in the literature rely on static
    analysis, however these tools are known to be vulnerable to some obfuscation techniques and
    attacks.

    Applied Technology on the Research.


    Antimalware is a type of software program created to protect information technology (IT)
    systems and individual computers from malicious software, or malware. Antimalware
    programs scan a computer system to prevent, detect and remove malware.
    Antimalware software uses three strategies to protect systems from malicious
    software: signature-based detection, behavior-based detection and sandboxing.
    Behavior Monitoring is a technique anti malware uses to identify malware based on its
    character and behavior. An anti-malware program doesn't compare the file to any known threats
    anymore. If a file exhibits suspicious behaviors, antimalware will view it as a threat.
    Why do you need anti malware?
    In brief, anti-malware was created to combat all types of malware, not just computer viruses. In
    contrast to simple antivirus tools, anti-malware doesn't simply scan email attachments or notify
    you of potentially harmful websites. Contemporary anti-malware solutions protect by
    monitoring data transferred via networks.
    III. Structural Framework
    IV. Advantages and Disadvantages
    The main advantage of having an antivirus app on your phone is that you're protected from
    threats. You'll be protected even at times when you don't know that you need protection. But
    one of the disadvantages of having an antivirus app is that your system may become slower.

    ADVANTAGES
     Protection from different kinds of malware
     Protection from spyware
     Real time protection
     Firewall included
     Ad blocker included
     Protection from online threats
     Protection from spam
     A worthwhile investment

    DISADVANTAGES
     Slows down your system
     Regular updates needed
     Gated protection
     Complicated customer support
     No absolute protection
     Lots of ads
    V. Conclusion
    Mobile malware is one of today’s biggest security issues. Malware writers have become more
    attracted to mobile devices in recent years since these devices have become a widespread,
    integral part of daily life. Security firms also release solutions for mobile devices. Since mobile
    devices have certain power limitations, most proposed anti-malware solutions in the market rely
    on static analysis techniques. However, these techniques could be more open to new attacks or
    even new variants of known attacks than dynamic analysis techniques. Therefore, these
    techniques need to be evaluated against unseen attacks, which is one of the aims of this current
    study. New mobile malware was successfully generated from known malware by using GP.
    These attacks are seen to be quite effective against popular security solutions in the market.
