Detection and prevention of crypto-ransomware
2017 IEEE 8th Annual Ubiquitous Computing, Electronics and Mobile Communication Conference (UEMCON), 2017Crypto-ransomware is a challenging threat that ciphers a user's files while hiding the decryption key until a ransom is paid by the victim. This type of malware is a lucrative business for cybercriminals, generating millions of dollars annually. The spread of ransomware is increasing as traditional detection-based protection, such as antivirus and anti-

On the Effectiveness of Behavior-Based Ransomware Detection
2020Ransomware has been a growing threat to end-users in the past few years. In response, there is also a burgeoning market for anti-ransomware defense products, as well as research prototypes that explore more advanced, behavioral analyses. Intuitively, ransomware should be amenable to identification through behavioral analysis, since ransomware ...

HelDroid: Dissecting and Detecting Mobile Ransomware
2015In ransomware attacks, the actual target is the human, as opposed to the classic attacks that abuse the infected devices e.g., botnet renting, information stealing. Mobile devices are by no means immune to ransomware attacks. However, there is little research work on this matter and only traditional protections are available.
