A response to criticisms of a virus detection scheme
MarionNikita Joseph · ACM SIGSAC Review · 1989
In their recent paper Davida, Desmedt, and Matt [Davi89, p.313] state that there are many unanswered questions concerning the design of the virus detection scheme presented in [Jose88]. Included in their discussion are 3 specific criticisms of this virus detection scheme. However, 2 of these criticisms are completely unfounded, and can mislead the reader who is unfamiliar with the basic hardware design of the detection mechanism.
