Popis: Cloud-based malware detection improves the detection performance for mobile devices that offload their malware detection tasks to security servers with much larger malware database and powerful computational resources. In this paper, we investigate the competition of the radio transmission bandwidths and the data sharing of the security server in the dynamic malware detection game, in which each mobile device chooses its offloading rate of the application traces to the security server. As the Q-learning technique has a slow learning rate in the game with high dimension, we have designed a mobile malware detection based on hotbooting-Q techniques, which initiates the quality values based on the malware detection experience. We propose an offloading strategy based on deep Q-network technique with a deep convolutional neural network to further improve the detection speed, the detection accuracy, and the utility. Preliminary simulation results verify the detection gain of the scheme compared with the Q- learning based strategy.
