Introduction
Currently available signature generation approach may fail to create accurate signatures from polymorphic worms. Some invariant parts in polymorphic
worms cannot be extracted. No approach takes into account all
distance restriction between invariant parts.

Conclusions Provided a more powerful method to
accurately analyze the intrinsic similarities of worm samples.
IDS can locally generate signatures and can be distributed to others to circumvent further worm damage.
This approach is noise-tolerant and the signatures are more accurate and precise than other method.
