MultiScan: A Private Online Virus Detection System

Computer viruses can affect any consumer electronics that need an operating system, such as tablet, and smartphone. To address the issue of computer viruses, some detection systems that contain multiple antivirus engines are being used. The systems may save and share user-uploaded files to the community, which is not acceptable for users with high privacy requirement. This paper presents a private multiengine online virus detection system called MultiScan that can perform the “isolated detection and update” to guarantee that the uploaded confidential samples are not exposed to the Internet.
