Abstract

A system and method for detecting malware optimized for mobile platforms. The system and method compares hashed portions of one or more malware signatures to hashes hashed from a suspect application, to determine whether the suspect application is malware-free. A second stage robust hash and splatter set of pseudorandomly selected blocks of the malware signatures reduce false positives allowing for improved detection of malware.
