Facing the serious security threats posed by Android malware amidst the rapid development of mobile internet, there is an urgent need to develop more accurate and efficient detection technologies. This paper introduces an innovative Android malware detection solution based on graph neural networks(GCN). The solution centers around function call graphs as core features, incorporating sensitive API identification and node importance analysis to streamline redundant information and reinforce key feature representation. Leveraging graph neural network models, complex call graphs are efficiently encoded into low-dimensional features, revealing the deep structure of malicious code. This method not only significantly improves detection accuracy to 99% but also drastically reduces detection time while ensuring performance, demonstrating its strong advantage in Android malware detection and classification tasks.
