LigeroAV: A Light-Weight, Signature-Based Antivirus for Mobile Environment

Abstract

SUMMARYCurrent signature-based antivirus solutions have three limitations such as the large volume of signature database, privacy preservation, and computation overheads of signature matching. In this paper, we propose LigeroAV, a light-weight, performance-enhanced antivirus, suitable for pervasive environments such as mobile phones. LigeroAV focuses on detecting MD5 signatures which are more than 90% of signatures. LigeroAV offloads matching computation in the cloud server with up-todated signature database while preserving privacy level using the Bloom filter.

Mal2d: 2d Based Deep Learning Model for Malware Detection Using Black and White Binary Image

“…Conventional antivirus solutions detect a malware by extracting the signature from a binary file, and comparing it with the malware database [1]. However, over 100 millions of new malwares are published every year [2], [3] so that the overall size of signature database also needs to increase significantly and rapidly, which can be a potential performance bottleneck in malware detection mechanisms.…”

In-Storage Anti-Virus System via On-Demand Inspection

“…Various studies have sought strategies to prevent performance degradation. Typically, the pre-matching method [2], [3] cloud method [4], or a combination of the two [5], [6] are employed. However, these studies assumed that virus scans would have to be carried out in advance because the comparison overhead was significant.…”
