Abstract: Examples of the present disclosure describe systems and methods for malicious software detection based on API trust. In an example, a set of software instructions executed by a computing device may call an API. A hook may be generated on the API, such that a threat processor may receive an indication when the API is called. Accordingly, the threat processor may generate a trust metric based on the execution of the set of software instructions, which may be used to determine whether the set of software instructions poses a potential threat. For example, one or more call stack frames may be evaluated to determine whether a return address is preceded by a call instruction, whether the return address is associated with a set of software instructions or memory associated with a set of software instructions, and/or whether the set of software instructions satisfies a variety of security criteria.

Abstract: A storage device may be operably coupleable with a host computing device, and the storage device and/or host computing device may be Bluetooth enabled. The storage device may include authentication information. Access to the storage device may be permitted via Bluetooth communication between the Bluetooth enabled device and at least one of the storage device and a host computing device, wherein the Bluetooth enabled device may be within a maximum Bluetooth range of the storage device. The Bluetooth communication may be performed without Bluetooth pairing.
