Mobile technology has grown dramatically around the world. Nowadays smart mobile devices are ubiquitous, i.e. they serve multiple purposes such as personal mobile communication, data storage, multimedia and entertainment etc. They have become important part of life. Implementing secure mobile and wireless networks is crucial for enterprises operating in the Internet-based business environment. Mobile market share has grown significantly in past few years so that we need to think about mobile security. Mobile security can be compromised due to design flaws, vulnerabilities, and protocol failures in any mobile applications, viruses, spyware, malware and other threats. In this paper we will more focus on mobile malware. Many tools are available in the market to detect malware but new research trend in the mobile security is users should be aware of app before he/she installs from the app store. Hence we propose a novel approach for permission based mobile malware detection system. It is based on static analysis. It has 3 major parts in it 1) a signature database for storing analysis results of training and testing. 2) An Android client who is used by end users for making analysis requests, and 3) a central server plays important role as it communicates with both signature database and smartphone client. We can say that he is the manager of whole analysis process. It alerts user if the app is malicious or the benign based on it user can proceed whether to continue with it or not
