摘要:
Content revocation is achieved by disabling licenses issued to a computing device for the content. A content revocation is delivered within a license to the computing device. Upon license storage the content revocation is recognized, validated, and stored in a secure state store under the public key of the content server (PU-CS) that issued the content. Each license has a (PU-CS) therein, and each license evaluation considers each content revocation stored in the state store and having the same (PU-CS). The license is disabled or otherwise affected based on the considered content revocation. A content revocation is one form of a license modification that may be delivered within a license.

Dynamic run-time verification of a module which is loaded in memory (in whole or in part) for execution is enabled by using pre-computed portion-level verification data for portions of the module smaller than the whole (e.g. at the page-level). A portion of the module as loaded into memory for execution can be verified. Pre-computed portion-level verification data is retrieved from storage and used to verify the loaded portions of the executable. Verification data may be, for example, a digitally signed hash of the portion. Where the operating system loader has modified the portion for execution, the modifications are reversed, removing any changes performed by the operating system. If the portion has not been tampered, this will return the portion to its original pre-loaded state. This version is then used to determine validity using the pre-computed portion-level verification. Additionally, during execution of the module, new portions/pages of the module which are loaded can be verified to ensure that they have not been changed, and a list of hot pages of the module can be made, including pages to be continually reverified, in order to ensure that no malicious changes have been made in the module.
摘要:
Access to a storage device, such as a disk, is controlled by performing a disk operation using a single cryptographic engine. Keys associated with each layer of a layered structure associated with controlling access to the storage device are combined. The resultant of this combination is used as the key to the cryptographic engine. Data to be retrieved from and written to the storage device are operated on by the cryptographic engine utilizing the combined key. Keys are combined by combining functions associated with layers of the layered structure. A combining function can include an exclusive or function, a cryptographic hash function, or a combination thereof.
