Draft of a Dynamic Malware Detection on Trustworthy Endpoints | |
D. Bothe, C. Fein, N. Pohlmann, E. Reich, A. Speier:, Malware infected computer systems can be found with increasing evidence in private and commercial fields of use. Always exposed to the risk of a “Lying End-Point”, an already manipulated security application that pretends to run on a clean computer system, the demand for new security solutions continues to rise. Project iTES (“innovative Trustworthy Endpoint Security”), government-funded by the German Federal Ministry of Education and Research, introduces a new system to enhance security while preserving usability. Based on an existing virtualized system which diversifies the software to a specific form of use, the project aims to develop new sensors to monitor the system dynamically and deliver real-time responses. Malware infected computer systems can be found with increasing evidence in private and com-mercial fields of use. Even technically advanced countries fall victim to severe damages caused by malicious software. Prevention of such attacks has to result in hardening computer systems against malware activity. Critical applications like online banking and e-commerce introduce a profitable field for criminal individuals, which significantly raises the need for trusted data pro-cessing even more. Conventional security solutions available today already offer thorough coun-termeasures, but are often exposed to manipulation by malware themselves. Always being subject to the risk of a “Lying End-Point”, an already manipulated security application that pretends to run on a clean computer system, the demand for new security solutions continues to rise. kostenlos downloaden | |
