Design and Development of a Privacy-Preserving On-Device Antivirus for CSAM Detection and Secure Reporting

Author(s) Mr. Prashant Kumar
Country India
Abstract Child Sexual Abuse Material (CSAM) continues to pose a major challenge for cybersecurity professionals, digital platforms, and law-enforcement agencies worldwide. At the same time, increasing concerns regarding digital privacy and mass surveillance have created a need for detection systems that can operate without unnecessarily exposing users’ personal data. This research proposes the design and development of a privacy-preserving on-device antivirus framework capable of detecting known CSAM locally on a device through secure matching techniques while minimizing external data transmission. The proposed approach focuses on local analysis, controlled processing, and secure reporting mechanisms to reduce privacy risks commonly associated with cloud-based scanning systems.
The study further examines methods for improving detection reliability through false-positive reduction techniques, encrypted reporting channels, and strict access-control measures for lawful reporting to authorized agencies. In addition to the technical framework, the research discusses the ethical and legal considerations associated with deploying such systems in real-world environments. The paper aims to demonstrate that effective child-protection technologies and user privacy can coexist through transparent safeguards, accountable system architecture, and responsible cybersecurity practices, thereby contributing to ongoing research in Cybersecurity, Privacy Engineering, and Digital Forensics.
