  • Intelligent hashes for centralized malware detection
    Patent number: 8732825
    Abstract: A suspicious entity is identified. An intelligent hash for the suspicious entity is generated, wherein the intelligent hash includes a set of metadata that is specific to the suspicious entity and at least some of the metadata is invariant over changes to the suspicious entity. The intelligent hash is transmitted to a server for evaluation of whether the suspicious entity corresponds to the malware entity. The server is adapted to determine whether the suspicious entity corresponds to the malware entity based on the intelligent hash. A result is received from the server specifying whether the suspicious entity corresponds to the malware entity.
