An automatic patch management system with improved security

Abstract

As the number of patches in a patch management system increases due to software updates and security issues arise in the existing patch management system, a more efficient patch management system with reinforced security is required. Additionally, existing patch management systems must be improved, as they perform patch collection inefficiently and their patch integrity verification schemes are simple. In this paper, we propose an automatic patch management system with improved security, enhanced patch collection efficiency, and reinforced verification of patch integrity that automatically collects patches through patch sites.
