Title
An Efficient Heterogeneous Approach to Building Compressed Automata for Malware Signature Matching
Abstract
We are presenting an innovative, deterministic approach to constructing highly compressed automata commonly used in malware signature scanning. Our implementation allows building a very efficient (storage-wise) approach for automata, with particular focus on the Aho-Corasick and Commentz-Walter algorithms, using a heterogeneous architecture that not only performs faster, but also supports much larger automata. Experimental results have shown that the memory required for the construction process of our approach is two times lower than in the classic CPU-only approach, while the overall construction time for the automata is improved by at least 50% on average in our experiments.
