Abstract
A repackaged mobile app that has been unpacked and repackaged back is detected based on similarity of app labels of a target mobile app being evaluated and a reference mobile app. The similarity of the sound of the app label of the target mobile app to the sound of the app label of the reference mobile app may be determined. The similarity of the appearance of the app label of the target mobile app to the appearance of the app label of the reference mobile app may also be determined. The target mobile app may be deemed to be a repackaged mobile app when the app labels of the target and reference mobile apps are deemed to be similar (which may include being the same) but the target and reference mobile apps have different identifiers.
