COMBINATION RULE MINING FOR MALWARE SIGNATURE GENERATION

Abstract:

Malware signature generation through combination rule mining is disclosed. A set of properties associated, collectively, with a plurality of data samples is received. A first data sample has a first set of properties and a second data sample has a second set of properties. A combination signature comprising at least a first property included in the first set of properties and a second property included in the second set of properties is generated.
