US Patent 11803642 Optimization of high entropy data particle extraction

Techniques for particle-based threat scanning are described. A method of extracting particles from high entropy data may include obtaining a sample from a sample source, identifying an anchor particle in the sample, generating a plurality of particles following the anchor particle based on a particle limit, wherein each particle from the plurality of particles is an array of unique bytes generated based on one or more particle properties, and storing the plurality of particles following the anchor particle in a particle database.
