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.

To optimally distribute the content-based signatures of

malware, which helps to detect the corresponding

malware.

Disable further propagation to minimize the number of

infected nodes.

PROJECT SIGNIFICANCE

Most probably the target for malware attacks such as

viruses,worms etc., in mobile networks.

The other reason is the emergence of mobile Internet,

which indirectly induces the malware.

In order to prevent this kind of attacks in mobile

networks,we provided this particularly in mobile

networks.

PROJECT IMPACT

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.

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.

CONCLUSION
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.
We introduce a distributed algorithm that closely approaches
the optimal system performance of a centralized solution. To
optimally distribute the content-based signatures of malware,
which helps to detect the corresponding malware and disable
further propagation, to minimize the number of infected nodes.
Our goal is to minimize the malware infected nodes in the
system by appropriately allocating the limited storage with the
consideration of different types of 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.

FUTURE ENHANCEMENT

Our scheme targets both the MMS and proximity malware at the
same time, and considers the problem of signature distribution.
Second, all these works assume that malware and devices are
homogeneous, we take the heterogeneity of devices into account in
deploying the system and consider the system resource limitations.
From the aspect of malware, since some sophisticated malware that
can bypass the signature detection would emerge with the
development of the defense system, new defense mechanisms will be
required.
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
