Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A system and method for detecting malware optimized for mobile platforms. The system and method compares hashed portions of one or more malware signatures to hashes hashed from a suspect application, to determine whether the suspect application is malware-free. A second stage robust hash and splatter set of pseudorandomly selected blocks of the malware signatures reduce false positives allowing for improved detection of malware.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. A method of detecting malware, comprising: selecting, by a mobile device, a first set of hash values hashed from prefixes of a set of malware signatures, each of the prefixes having a first-portion-size, wherein the malware signatures have lengths greater than the first-portion-size; hashing, by the mobile device, a plurality of strings of a target application to create a plurality of second hash values, each of the strings having the first-portion-size, t…
