MUMBAI, India, Feb. 6 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202641007163 A) filed by Vignans Foundation For Science, Technology And Research, Tenali, Andhra Pradesh, on Jan. 24, for 'malware detection and security assessment using signature-based analysis.'
Inventor(s) include Jukuntla Amar; Ds Bhupal Naik; Sajja Radharani; and Deevi Radha Rani.
The application for the patent was published on Feb. 6, under issue no. 06/2026.
According to the abstract released by the Intellectual Property India: "Malware continues to pose a significant threat to computer systems by compromising data integrity, confidentiality, and availability. Despite the emergence of advanced detection techniques, signature-based antivirus systems remain a widely adopted and reliable approach for identifying known malware due to their accuracy and low computational overhead. This invention presents the design and implementation of a signature-based antivirus scanner aimed at effective malware detection and security analysis. The proposed system maintains a database of malware signatures and performs systematic scanning of files by comparing their patterns against known signatures. The scanner is capable of identifying malicious files with high precision while minimizing false positives. Additionally, the system provides security analysis features such as threat classification and scan reporting to assist users in understanding detected risks. Experimental evaluation demonstrates that the proposed approach efficiently detects known malware samples with minimal impact on system performance. The results indicate that signature-based scanning remains an effective solution for baseline malware protection and serves as a foundational component for layered security architectures."
