Abstract
Techniques for neutralizing malicious malware embedded in a media item being sent to a user equipment (UE) are discussed herein. A network device may receive (e.g., intercept) a medial file in transit via a wireless communication network being sent to a UE. The media file may include some type of perceptible content (e.g., audio, video, image data, etc.) as well as malware embedded in the media file. The network device may generate a transcoded media file based on the received media file that includes the perceptible content while neutralizing the malware.
Claims20
A method comprising:
- receiving, by a service provider of a wireless communication network, a media file in transit via the wireless communication network to a user equipment (UE), the media file containing perceptible content;
- generating, by the service provider of the wireless communication network and using a type of transcoding, a transcoded media file based on the media file, the transcoded media file maintaining the perceptible content of the media file and the type of transcoding being selected from a group comprising of converting the media file into a different digital encoding format, compressing the media file, transrating the media file, transmuxing the media file, resizing the media file, downsizing the media file, changing resolution, downsampling the media file, changing color or pixel depth of the media file, and performing lossy processing of content included in the media file;
- and
- sending, by the service provider of the wireless communication network, the transcoded media file via the wireless communication network to the UE.
1 more element
A system comprising:
- one or more processors;
- and
- one or more non-transitory computer-readable media storing computer-executable instructions that, when executed, cause the one or more processors to perform operations comprising:
- receiving, by a transcoder application of a user equipment (UE), a media file in received from a wireless communication network by the UE, the media file containing perceptible content;
- generating, using a type of transcoding, a transcoded media file based on the media file, the transcoded media file maintaining the perceptible content of the media file and the type of transcoding being selected from a group comprising of converting the media file into a different digital encoding format, compressing the media file, transrating the media file, transmuxing the media file, resizing the media file, downsizing the media file, changing resolution, downsampling the media file, changing color or pixel depth of the media file, and performing lossy processing of content included in the media file;
- and
- sending the transcoded media file to a media rendering application of the UE.
4 more elements
A server comprising:
- one or more processors;
- and
- one or more non-transitory computer-readable media storing computer-executable instructions that, when executed, cause the one or more processors to perform operations comprising:
- receiving, by a service provider of a wireless communication network, a media file in transit via the wireless communication network to a user equipment (UE), the media file containing perceptible content;
- generating, by the service provider of the wireless communication network and using a type of transcoding, a transcoded media file based on the media file, the transcoded media file maintaining the perceptible content of the media file and the type of transcoding being selected from a group comprising of converting the media file into a different digital encoding format, compressing the media file, transrating the media file, transmuxing the media file, resizing the media file, downsizing the media file, changing resolution, downsampling the media file, changing color or pixel depth of the media file, and performing lossy processing of content included in the media file;
- and
- sending, by the service provider of the wireless communication network, the transcoded media file via the wireless communication network to the UE.
