BitAV: Fast Anti-Malware by Distributed Blockchain Consensus and Feedforward Scanning
I present the design and implementation of a novel anti-malware environment
called BitAV. BitAV allows for the decentralization of the update and
maintenance mechanisms of the software, traditionally performed by a central
host, and uses a staggered scanning mechanism in order to improve performance.
The peer-to-peer network maintenance mechanism lowered the average update
propagation speed by 500% and is far less susceptible to targeted
denial-of-service attacks. The feedforward scanning mechanism significantly
improved end-to-end performance of the malware matching system, to a degree of
an average 14x increase, by decomposing the file matching process into
efficient queries that operate in verifiably constant time
