The improving of the effectiveness of the technology of verification of websites in the Internet

Abstract

The analysis of the threats of identity theft and infection of websites indicates that antivirals are ineffective for websites, because hosting does not conduct continuous monitoring for viruses on their servers due to large amounts of user data, and RAID cannot save data, because they only duplicate them, and in the case of infection with a virus they merely memorize a changed file. We have developed a method and software that improve the efficiency of the technology of websites verification in the Internet. The software works on the principle of verification of checksums and comparison of the exemplary copy of the website owner with data located on the server to monitor and recover deleted or changed files. This method checks of infection for different files such as archives, graphics, documents and multimedia data that are not able to do the existing methods of verification. Analysis of the speed data verification of website showed that in case of the absence of infection on the server the speed of comparison of checksum is 3–4 times more than in a situation when files are missing or have been infected. In case of the absence of files on the server, the speed of testing of data is approximately equal to the speed of their direct upload to a server, i.e. the actual speed of the Internet connection. When files are infected the time of testing is increased about 1.5 times. In the case of the long-term storage of the digitized data on a WEB-server or a local network, it is recommended to use only binary method for recording of files. A method of combating viral threats for Internet resources based on the checksum shows good results and is recommended for these tasks.
