Malware Detection and Secure File Handling Using Containerization

Abstract— The widespread adoption of mobile platforms for data exchange and file management has introduced heightened concerns regarding malware and overall system security. To address this, the cross-platform mobile solution Secure.inc has been developed. It implements container- based isolation to assess and analyze files within a secure virtual environment prior to user access, thereby minimizing the risk of infection [1], [2]. Built using Flutter for the frontend, with backend services supported by Node.js and Express.js, the system also utilizes Firebase for real-time database operations. Files are processed within a cloud- hosted container, allowing for proactive threat detection and isolation. This approach enhances system resilience while maintaining performance, offering users a robust defense mechanism without degrading device efficiency [3], [4], [10].
