Abstract
Repackaging of mobile games is serious problem in the Android environment. In this paper, we propose a repackaging detection technique using shortened instruction sequence. By using shortened instruction sequence, the proposed technique can be applicable to a mobile device and can block repackaged apps coming from various sources. In the experiment, our technique showed high accuracy of repackaging detection.
