AIM &OBJECTIVE

Deploying an efficient defense system to protect against

infection and to help the infected nodes to recover is
important to prevent serious spreading and outbreaks.

We introduce an optimal distributed solution

to

efficiently avoid malware spreading and help to infected

nodes to recover

PROJECT SIGNIFICANCE
o

Optimally distribute the content-based signatures of

malware, which helps to detect the corresponding
malware .

Designing a defense system for both MMS and

proximity malware.

Introducing an optimal distributed solution to efficiently

keep away from malware spreading which also involves
to help infected nodes to recover.

CPMC utilizes the social

which reflects a stable and

Each nodes own view is too

MODULES DESCRIPTION:
Node Creation:

Create a mobile networks including a number of nodes. First

defined number of nodes and also defined source node,
destination node, intermediate nodes.

The network contains heterogeneous devices as nodes. Mobile

nodes are more efficient to disseminate content and information

in the network.

Helper node Creation:

Helper nodes are referred to as special nodes. Helper node is

intermediate node for every nodes in the network.

File can be transmit from source node to destination node through

the help of helpers node.

Distribute Signatures:

This module is used to analyzing the malware nodes through

passing the signatures.

Helper node distribute the signatures for every intermediate nodes

based on the file contents key will be generated.

Malware Detection and Encounter Malwares:

Detect the malware with the help of a content based signatures.

Exponential parameter obtained from the contact records

between helpers and general nodes.

Every intermediate node receive the signatures from helper

node and which intermediate nodes receiving the signatures
twice.

This time to detecting the malware spreading nodes and

recovering the infected nodes.

Performance Trace:

Simulate the malware spreading, and compare the simulation results

of infected ratio with that obtained by the model.

The number of infected nodes increases with the growth of spreading

rate can observe that the number of infected nodes decreases with the
increase of recovering rate.

For proximity malware propagation, we use both realistic mobility

trace and synthetic trace for simulations.

This modules determining the malware spreading time and malware

recovering time will be calculated using the signatures receive traces.

EXPECTED OUTCOMES

Defense system distribute the optimal signature using special

nodes.

To deploy an efficient defense system to help infected nodes to

recover and prevent healthy nodes from further infection.

Avoiding whole network unnecessary redundancy using distribute

signatures.

The efficiency of our defense scheme in reducing the amount of

infected nodes in the system.

Security and authentication mechanisms should be considered.

CONCLUSION & FUTURE ENHANCEMENT

In this paper, we investigate the problem of optimal signature
distribution to defend mobile networks against the propagation
of both proximity and MMS-based malware.
Through both theoretical analysis and simulations, we
demonstrate the efficiency of our defense scheme in reducing
the amount of infected nodes in the system.
Our scheme targets both the MMS and proximity malware at
the same time, and considers the problem of signature
distribution.
At the same time, our work considers the case of OS-targeting
malware. Although most of the existing malware is OS targeted,
cross-OS malware will emerge and propagate in the near future.
How to efficiently deploy thecurrent defense system with the
consideration of cross-OS malware is another important problem
