Abstract
Importance of personal data has increased along with the evolution of technology. To steal and misuse this data, malicious programs and software are written to exploit the vulnerabilities of the current system. These programs are referred to as malware. Malware harasses the users until their intentions are fulfilled. Earlier malware was major threats to the personal computers. However, now there is a lateral shift in interest toward Android operating system, which has a large market share in smartphones. Day by day, malware is getting stronger and new type of malware is being written so that they are undetected by the present software. Security parameters must be changed to cope up with the changes happening around the world. In this paper, we discuss the different types of malware analysis techniques which are proposed till date to detect the malware in Android platform. Moreover, it also analyzes and concludes about the suitable techniques applicable to the different type of malware.
