Detection and Suppression of Malware Based on Consortium Blockchain
Yitong Du, Chuanchang Liu, Zhiyuan Su · IOP Conference Series Materials Science and Engineering · 2019
The propose of the paper is to explore a possible way which is based on consortium blockchain to detect and control the propagation and generation of the malware innovatively. Taking many factors into consideration, such as the deficiency of storage space and limited computer power on the mobile platform, we do not directly join the mobile platform to the blockchain. Instead, we use a detection and reporting framework based on log analysis to search for malicious behaviour on the mobile phone. Then through the daemon process resident in memory we record system log information, use the Aho-Corasick automata algorithm to match log information that may have malicious behaviour, identify and report malicious behaviour of the application. According to the experimental result, the method can effectively detect and identify malicious applications, and it can even control malicious application on the Android platform.
