Transparent Malware Detection With Granular Assembly Flow Explainability via Graph Neural Networks
Griffin Higgins, Roozbeh Razavi-Far, Hossein Shokouhinejad +1
As malware continues to become increasingly sophisticated, threatening, and evasive, malware detection systems must keep pace and become equally intelligent, powerful, and transpar…
A Research and Development Portfolio of GNN Centric Malware Detection, Explainability, and Dataset Curation
Hossein Shokouhinejad, Griffin Higgins, Roozbeh Razavi-Far +1
Graph Neural Networks (GNNs) have become an effective tool for malware detection by capturing program execution through graph-structured representations. However, important challen…
Dual Explanations via Subgraph Matching for Malware Detection
Hossein Shokouhinejad, Roozbeh Razavi-Far, Griffin Higgins +1
Interpretable malware detection is crucial for understanding harmful behaviors and building trust in automated security systems. Traditional explainable methods for Graph Neural Ne…
On the Consistency of GNN Explanations for Malware Detection
Hossein Shokouhinejad, Griffin Higgins, Roozbeh Razavi-Far +2
Control Flow Graphs (CFGs) are critical for analyzing program execution and characterizing malware behavior. With the growing adoption of Graph Neural Networks (GNNs), CFG-based re…
