Abstract

Systems, methods and apparatus for a content item inspection. A plurality of portions of a content item are received in a buffer, the buffer divided into a plurality of segments. A partial signature of the content item is computed using the received portions of the content item in a most recently received segment and a partial signature computed for a preceding segment. The computed partial signature is compared against a plurality of partial signatures associated with trustworthy content items. If a matching partial signature associated with a trustworthy content item is found for the computed partial signature, the most recently received segment is allowed to be transmitted to a device that requested the content item.
