Abstract

Malware attacks on mobile devices are becoming more common and more complicated every year. Malware writers see the open-source Android app as their main target because so many people use it. Artificial intelligence is used by most of the literature's mobile malware detection methods to find ransomware. Our research, on the other hand, makes it clear that most of the earlier studies used different metrics and models, as well as different datasets and classification features that came from static, dynamic, or hybrid analysis strategies. This makes comparing the different suggested detection methods more difficult and may also make the results less certain. The goal of this work is to solve the problem of AI-powered malware detection by sorting current methods and approaches into three groups: the type of dataset, the type of detection method used (machine learning models, deep learning models, and Behavioral Analysis model), and how well the method works. In this way, we suggest a convergent plan that can be used as a basis for future methods of finding malware on Android and as a solid standard for artificial intelligence work in this area.
