Abstract
A set of candidate signatures for a malicious software (malware) is generated. The candidate signatures in the set are scored based on features that indicate the signatures are more unique and thus less likely to generically occur non-malicious programs. A malware signature for the malware entity is selected from among the candidate malware signatures based on the scores. The selected malware signature is stored.
