Abstract
Embodiments of the invention provide for malware collusion detection in a mobile computing device. In one embodiment, a method for malicious inter-application interaction detection in a mobile computing device includes filtering applications installed in a mobile device to a set of related applications and then monitoring in the mobile device execution of the related applications in the set. The method additionally includes computing resource utilization of one of the related applications executing in a background of the mobile device while also computing execution performance of a different one of the related applications. Finally, the method includes responding to a determination that the computed resource utilization is high while the computed execution performance is poor by generating a notification in the display of the mobile device that the one of the related applications is suspected of malware collusion with the different one of the related applications.
