Abstract

A safety software authentication terminal and a method thereof are provided, and when a safety software authentication is performed, software executed among a plurality of types of installed software is detected as a white list verification target, and whether or not to register detected verification target software in a white list, and when the verification target software is not registered in the white list, a grade is determined for the verification target software based on the number of satisfying conditions among a plurality of preset conditions, and when the grade can be registered in the white list, the verification target software is added to the whitelist, and the plurality of conditions include at least one of technical conditions that an operating system of the terminal is checkable and social engineering conditions that are checkable based on a behavior of a user.

Claims10

Dependent claims

A safety software authentication terminal comprising:

a memory that stores a safety software authentication program;
and
a processor that executes the program stored in the memory,
wherein the processor detects software executed among a plurality of types of software installed in the terminal as a whitelist verification target, according to execution of the safety software authentication program, determines whether or not to register a verification target software in a white list, normally executes the verification target software when the verification target software is registered in the white list, determines a grade for the verification target software based on the number of satisfying conditions among a plurality of preset conditions when the verification target software is not registered in the white list, and adds the verification target software to the whitelist when the grade is capable of being registered in the white list, and
wherein the plurality of conditions include at least one of technical conditions that an operating system of the terminal is checkable and social engineering conditions that are checkable based on a behavior of a user.

2 more elements

A safety software authentication method performed by a safety software authentication terminal, the method comprising:

(a) detecting software executed among a plurality of types of installed software as a whitelist verification target;
(b) determining whether or not to register a verification target software in a white list;
(c) determining a grade for the verification target software based on the number of satisfying conditions among a plurality of preset conditions when the verification target software is not registered in the white list;
and
(d) adding the verification target software to the white list when the grade is capable of being registered in the white list,
wherein the plurality of conditions include at least one of technical conditions that an operating system of the terminal is checkable and social engineering conditions that are checkable based on a behavior of a user.
