AB - Copyright infringement in Android applications is a growing problem because Android applications can be easily reverse engineered and pirated. In this paper, we propose three techniques for comparing similarity between Android applications in order to detect the theft of the applications. The proposed techniques statically analyze the Dalvik VM executable files in the Dalvik Executable (.dex) format, and measure similarity between the executable files (DEX files). The first technique decompiles DEX (VM bytecode) files into corresponding Java source codes and computes similarity between the decompiled source codes. The second technique extracts string information contained in DEX files and calculates similarity between applications based on the string information. The last technique extracts methods’ features defined DEX files and compares similarity between applications based on the features. We evaluate the performance of the proposed techniques in terms of credibility and resilience by carrying out some experiments.
