ABSTRACT

Function Call Graphs (FCGs) effectively represent execution flows and behavioral structures in static Android malware detection; however, existing studies have shown limitations in utilizing structural edge attribute design by treating function calls as simple connections. This study incorporates diverse edge attributes into Android malware FCGs and comparatively analyzes the performance of GINE (Graph Isomorphism Network with Edge Features)-based malware family classification. Experimental results show that the Baseline model achieved an accuracy of 0.8347 with high variance, whereas Betweenness, ID Distance, and Depth Difference exhibited consistent accuracy improvements of 6.4–7.4 percentage points, and Timestamp, Frequency, and Direction achieved gains of 4.9–5.6 percentage points. These results suggest that structural edge attribute design contributes to improved classification performance and stability in Android malware FCG analysis.
