Abstract

System-on-chip (SoC)-based apparatus for detecting malicious code in portable terminal is provided. SoC-based apparatus includes SoC including central processing unit (CPU) configured to generally control respective units of SoC for SoC-based malicious code detection, SoC memory-based firewall configured to classify packets input from outside through network interface unit, perform filtering operation, such as allowing operation and dropping operation, on the classified packets according to a predetermined setting, and output the result of the filtering operation to an application memory or an anti-malware engine, the SoC memory-based anti-malware engine configured to detect malicious code by performing a pattern-matching operation between a code pattern in a file input from the firewall and a pattern of malicious code registered in a malware signature database (DB) of a mobile device application unit, and an SoC memory-based control module configured to control operation of the firewall and the anti-malware engine in connection with the CPU.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A system-on-chip (SoC)-based apparatus for detecting malicious code in a mobile device, comprising a mobile device SoC,
wherein the mobile device SoC includes:
a central processing unit (CPU) configured to control respective units of the mobile device SoC for SoC-based malicious code detection;
a mobile device SoC memory-based firewall configured to classify packets input from the outside through a network interface unit, and perform a filtering operatio…
