Android APK Identification using Non Neural Network and Neural Network Classifier

Abstract

The purpose of this study is to identify Android APK files by classifying them using Artificial Neural Network (ANN) and Non Neural Network (NNN). The ANN is Multi-Layer Perceptron Classifier (MLPC), while the NNN are KNN, SVM, Decision Tree, Logistic Regression and Naïve Bayes methods. The results show that the performance using NNN has decreasing accuracy when training using larger datasets. The use of the K-Nearest Neighbor algorithm with a dataset of 600 APKs achieves an accuracy of 91.2% and dataset of 14170 APKs achieves an accuracy of 88%. The using of the Support Vector Machine algorithm with the 600 APK dataset has an accuracy of 99.1% and the 14170 APK dataset has an accuracy of 90.5%. The using of the Decision Tree algorithm with the 600 APK dataset has an accuracy of 99.2%, the 14170 APK dataset has an accuracy of 90.8%. The experiment using the Multi-Layer Perceptron Classifier has increasing with the 600 APK dataset reaching 99%, the 7000 APK dataset reaching 100% and the 14170 APK dataset reaching 100%.
