Micro-Virtual Machine Isolation for Malicious Bit Set Execution
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current computer security paradigms relying on firewalls and antivirus software are ineffectual in addressing mobility, dynamic Internet content, and consumerization, as they fail to provide reliable defense against security exploits and malicious code in evolving environments.
Innovation Solution
A new security paradigm that securely transfers control to a bit set by identifying and categorizing bit sets as virtuous or malicious, using locally known and universally known databases, and executing them within micro-virtual machines with tailored access and monitoring to prevent malicious activity.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If traditional firewalls and antivirus software are used to protect computer data and resources, then basic network traffic filtering and malware detection are provided, but the system fails to address mobility, dynamic Internet content, and consumerization, resulting in ineffectual security against evolving threats
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements dynamic security evaluation by continuously monitoring bit set behavior during execution and adapting the security response in real-time. The system transitions from static signature-based detection to dynamic behavior analysis, adjusting security measures based on observed execution patterns and risk assessment outcomes.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent segments the execution environment by introducing micro-virtual machines that isolate potentially malicious bit sets from the host system. This segmentation allows the bit set to execute in a controlled, isolated environment while maintaining security boundaries, addressing the adaptability need by enabling safe execution of diverse and dynamic content.
2Adaptability or versatility
If control is transferred to potentially malicious bit sets to enable execution of downloaded content, then functionality and user experience are improved, but the risk of malware execution and system compromise increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces micro-virtual machines as intermediary execution environments between the user system and potentially malicious bit sets. This intermediary layer enables the system to execute downloaded content with improved adaptability while the virtual machine acts as a protective barrier that contains any malicious activity, thus reducing the harmful factors affecting the host system.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent converts the potential harm of executing malicious bit sets into a benefit by using controlled experimentation and monitoring. The system deliberately allows execution of suspicious bit sets in isolated environments, transforms the risk into an opportunity for detection and analysis, and uses the execution itself to generate security intelligence that benefits the overall system.
3Measurement precision
If traditional antivirus software analyzes files using signature-based detection, then known malware can be identified and removed, but the system cannot detect zero-day threats or analyze behavior of unknown bit sets
Solution Approach 1:
The patent changes the detection parameters from static file signatures to dynamic execution behavior metrics. By monitoring system calls, resource access patterns, and execution flow during bit set operation, the system achieves adaptability to detect zero-day threats while maintaining measurement precision through multiple monitored parameters that capture malicious behavior characteristics.
Data Source
AI summary
Approaches for transferring control to a bit set. At a point of ingress, prior to transferring control to the bit set, a determination is made as to whether the bit set is recognized as being included within a set of universally known malicious bit sets. If the bit set is not so recognized, then another determination is made as to whether the bit set is recognized as being included within a set of locally known virtuous bit sets. If the bit set is recognized as being included within a set of locally known virtuous bit sets, then control is not transferred to the bit set. Upon determining that the bit set is not included within the set of locally known virtuous bit sets, then the bit set is copied into a micro-virtual machine and control is transferred to the bit set within the micro-virtual machine.
