Abstract
With the growth of smartphone users, mobile phone applications increase exponentially. But a lot of apps are cloned. We design a timing-based clone detection method. By choosing several lists of inputs, we can get the corresponding CPU time usage, which composes a CPU time usage tuple. After comparing these tuples, we can find the clone apps. At last, we do some experiments to verify our methods.
