| 20100071065 | INFILTRATION OF MALWARE COMMUNICATIONS - Infiltration of malware communications. Malicious programs infecting individual devices within a network oftentimes communicate with another infected device (e.g., a master device by which the infection was established on a slave device in the first place). During this call home to a master device (or receiving a call from the master device), vital information about the attack, target, master device, etc. may be transmitted. The call home may include information acquired/retrieved from the infected device, or it may request additional information from the infecting device. By monitoring the network messages associated with such call home attempts (including any errors associated therewith), an infected device may be identified and appropriate action be taken (e.g., continue monitoring, isolate infected device from network, generate call to network help desk, etc.). This approach may be implemented at a network level to help prevent further promulgation of the malicious program to other devices. | 03-18-2010 |
| 20110214179 | SECURE METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR COMPUTER PROTECTION - Attacks by computer viruses, worm programs, and other hostile software (‘malware’), have become very serious problems for computer systems connected to large communication networks such as the Internet. One potential defence against such attacks is to employ diversity—that is, making each copy of the attacked software different. However, existing diversity techniques do not offer sufficient levels of protection. The invention provides an effective diversity solution by applying tamper resistant software (TRS) encoding techniques, to the communications that take place between software components, with corresponding changes to the code handling those communications. These communications may include, for example, data passed between software routines via parameters or mutually accessible variables, light-weight messages, signals and semaphores passed between threads, and messages passed between software processes. Effective TRS encoding techniques include data-flow encoding and mass-data encoding techniques. | 09-01-2011 |
