Anti-virus protection system and method thereof
An anti-virus protection system and method including receiving an address of a data server from a user, writing and transmitting a request message including the address received from the user, receiving the data from the data server, and determining whether the data contains malignant virus. Thus, a malignant web site is scanned/filtered by minimally using a restrictive memory and central process unit (CPU) resource of a mobile device, and a user uses a mobile device whose security is ensured even through a user moves to another country.
1. An anti-virus protection system comprising:
a device configured to generate a first request message requesting data stored in a data server, and transmit the first request message to a network, according to a request, by a user, to transmit the data stored in the data server; and
a service server configured to receive the first request message, generate and transmit to the data server a second request message requesting the data server to transmit the data according to the first request message, and receive the data from the data server,
wherein the service server performs at least one of i) determining whether the data transmitted from the data server contains a malignant virus, or ii) determining whether the data server corresponds to a server violating a predetermined policy; and
wherein, when the data transmitted from the data server is determined to not contain the malignant virus, the service server generates and transmits to the data server a third request message requesting the data server to transmit the data requested by the user to the device.
2. The anti-virus protection system of claim 1 , wherein, when the data server receives from the service server the third request message requesting the data server to transmit the data requested by the user to the device, the data server transmits the data requested by the user directly to the device.
3. The anti-virus protection system of claim 1 , wherein the first request message comprises an address of the data server.
4. A service server comprising:
a redirect server configured to receive from a device a first request message requesting data stored in a data server, generate and transmit to the data server indicated by the received request message a second request message requesting the data server to transmit the data according to the request message, and receive the data from the data server; and
an anti-virus server configured to determine whether the data transmitted from the data server contains a malignant virus,
wherein, when the anti-virus server determines that the data does not contain the malignant virus, the redirect server generates and transmits to the data server a third request message requesting the data server to transmit the data to the device.
5. The service server of claim 4 , further comprising a security policy server configured to determine whether the data server violates a predetermined policy.
6. The service server of claim 4 , further comprising a management server configured to determine a service server proper to a location of the device,
wherein the redirect server transmits an address of the service server determined by the management server to the device.
7. An anti-virus protection method comprising:
receiving a request by a user to transmit data stored in a data server;
generating a first request message requesting the data stored in the data server, and transmitting the first request message to a service server;
in the service server, performing at least one of i) generating and transmitting to the data server a second request message requesting the data server to transmit the data according to the first request message, receiving the data from the data server, and determining whether the transmitted data contains a malignant virus, and ii) determining whether the data server violates a predetermined policy; and
when the data does not contain the malignant virus, generating and transmitting to the data server a third request message requesting the data server to transmit the data requested by the user to the device.
8. The anti-virus protection method of claim 7 , further comprising, when the data server receives from the service server the third request message requesting the data server to transmit the data requested by the user to the device, transmitting the data requested by the user directly to the device.
9. The anti-virus protection method of claim 8 , wherein the first request message comprises an address of the data server.
