In order to solve the problem that me traditional signature-based detection technology cannot effectively detect unknown malware, we propose in this study a smartphone malware detection model （SP-MDM） based on artificial immune system, in which static malware analysis and dynamic malware analysis techniques are combined, and antigens are generated by encoding the characteristics extracted from the malware. Based on negative selection algorithm, the mature detectors are generated. By introducing clonal selection algorithm, the detectors with higher affinity are selected to undergo a proliferation and somatic hyper-mutation process, so that more excellent detector offspring can be generated. Experimental result shows that the detection model has a higher detection rate for unknown smartphone malware, and better detection performance can be achieved by increasing the clone generation.
