Abstract
Methods, systems and devices use operating system execution states while monitoring applications executing on a mobile device to perform comprehensive behavioral monitoring and analysis include configuring a mobile device to monitor an activity of a software application, generate a shadow feature value that identifies an operating system execution state of the software application during that activity, generate a behavior vector that associates the monitored activity with the shadow feature value, and determine whether the activity is malicious or benign based on the generated behavior vector, shadow feature value and/or operating system execution states. The mobile device may also be configured to intelligently determine whether the operating system execution state of a software application is relevant to determining whether any of the monitored mobile device behaviors are malicious or suspicious, and monitor only the operating system execution states of the software applications for which such determinations are relevant.
