About Ammar’s PhD Thesis:
The thesis is entitled “Enhanced Application Programming Interface Call Graph Architecture for Malware Detection.” This thesis describes the design and implementation of a host-based Malware Detection Architecture based on API Call graph. The implemented proposed architecture combines two algorithm’s for better detection accuracy, namely, integrating API call graph construction algorithm and enhanced graph matching algorithm. The proposed integrating API call graph construction algorithm transforms the input malware sample in API call graph by integrating API calls and operating system resource as graph node in one graph. An enhanced graph matching algorithm is used to calculate the similarity between two input malware sample API call graphs using enhanced graph edit distance. The proposed architecture has been implemented using Delphi programming language. Experiments show that the proposed system has 98% accuracy and 0 false positive rates. The result also shows that the Receiver Operating Characteristics (ROC) curves display a better True Positives (TP) rate for the proposed architecture over the previous attempts, which reflect significant improvement of TP rate.
