Malware Modeling Detection System And Method for Mobile Platforms

A system and method for detecting malware by modeling the behavior of malware and comparing a suspect executable with the model. The system and method extracts feature elements from malware-infected applications, groups the feature elements into feature sets, and develops rules describing a malicious probability relationship between the feature elements. Using malware-free and malware-infected applications as training data, the system and method heuristically trains the rules and creates a probability model for identifying malware. To detect malware, the system and method scans the suspect executable for feature sets and applies the results to the probability model to determine the probability that the suspect executable is malware-infected.

System and method for managing malware protection on mobile devices

A system and method for detecting malware on a limited access mobile platform in a mobile network. The system and method uses one or more feature sets that describe various non-executable portions of malware-infected and malware-free applications, and compares a application on the limited access mobile platform to the features sets. A match of the features in a suspect application to one of the feature sets provides an indication as to whether the suspect application is malware-infected or malware-free.

Method and system for caching address translations from multiple address spaces in virtual machines

A method of virtualizing memory through shadow page tables that cache translations from multiple guest address spaces in a virtual machine includes a software version of a hardware tagged translation look-aside buffer. Edits to guest page tables are detected by intercepting the creation of guest-writable mappings to guest page tables with translations cached in shadow page tables. The affected cached translations are marked as stale and purged upon an address space switch or an indiscriminate flush of translations by the guest. Thereby, non-stale translations remain cached but stale translations are discarded. The method includes tracking the guest-writable mappings to guest page tables, deferring discovery of such mappings to a guest page table for the first time until a purge of all cached translations when the number of untracked guest page tables exceeds a threshold, and sharing shadow page tables between shadow address spaces and between virtual processors.

System and method for rapidly tracking multiple faces

A system and a method for rapidly tracking multiple faces uses a face-like region generator to find a face-like region by skin color, motion, and silhouette information. A face tracking engine tracks faces based on new and old faces, and skin colors provided by the face-like regions. The tracked face is fed into a face status checker for determining whether the face-like regions are old faces tracked in a previous frame or are possible new faces. If the face-like regions are old faces, a face verification engine checks whether there exists a predefined percentage of overlapping area between an old face and a skin region. If yes, the old face is still in the current frame and its position is in the center of the skin region, otherwise, the position of the old face is found by a correlation operation.

System and method for multi-view face detection

A system and method for real-time multi-view (i.e. not just frontal view) face detection. The system and method uses a sequence of detectors of increasing complexity and face / non-face discriminating thresholds to quickly discard non-faces at the earliest stage possible, thus saving much computation compared to prior art systems. The detector-pyramid architecture for multi-view face detection uses a coarse-to-fine and simple-to-complex scheme. This architecture solves the problem of lengthy processing that precludes real-time face detection effectively and efficiently by discarding most of non-face sub-windows using the simplest possible features at the earliest possible stage. This leads to the first real-time multi-view face detection system which has the accuracy almost as good as the state-of-the-art system yet 270 times faster, allowing real-time performance.

Watermarking with random zero-mean patches for printer tracking

A steganographic method embeds hidden information like digital watermarks and digital fingerprints into an image by applying one or more zero-mean patches to a digital signal that conveys the image. Each zero-mean patch comprises elements having an average value substantially equal to zero. A printer tracking system is implemented by selecting a plurality of zero-mean patches according to a string of bits representing a printer serial number, and modifying printer control signals to embed the plurality of patches in each of a number of virtual cells within the image to be printed. The offset of the virtual cells with respect to the boundaries of the image and the location of the patches within each virtual cell are established in pseudo-random fashion. The printer tracking system further includes a technique for subsequently detecting the printer serial number by scanning the printed image and running a detection algorithm on the scanned data to recover the string of bits embedded in the zero-mean patches.
