摘要:
One embodiment relates to a computer-implemented method for role discovery in access control systems. User accounts are selected according to a predetermined algorithm. For each selected user account, a new role is created covering a set of permissions including all permissions which the user account needs but is not yet covered by another role that the user account has. The new role is given to the user account so that all permissions needed by the user account are covered. Any additional user accounts which still need the set of permissions covered by the new role are also found, and the new role is given to these additional user accounts, if any. Other features, aspects and embodiments are also disclosed.

A method for cost entity matching can include constructing a first graph including a number of first entities and a number of second entities, and assigning a number of first cost values to each of a number of first edges connecting one of the number of first entities to one of the number of second entities in the first graph; adding a second graph to the first graph, wherein the second graph includes the number of first entities and the number of second entities, and assigning a second cost value to each of a number of second edges connecting one of the number of first entities in the first graph to the corresponding first entity in the second graph; and, matching each one of the number of second entities to one of the number of first entities based on the number of first cost values and the second cost values.
摘要:
Systems and methods are disclosed for protecting a computer program from unauthorized analysis and modification. Obfuscation transformations can be applied to the computer program's local structure, control graph, and/or data structure to render the program more difficult to understand and/or modify. Tamper-resistance mechanisms can be incorporated into the computer program to detect attempts to tamper with the program's operation. Once an attempt to tamper with the computer program is detected, the computer program reports it to an external agent, ceases normal operation, and/or reverses any modifications made by the attempted tampering. The computer program can also be watermarked to facilitate identification of its owner. The obfuscation, tamper-resistance, and watermarking transformations can be applied to the computer program's source code, object code, or executable image.

摘要:
A method includes providing a bipartite graph having vertices of a first type, vertices of a second type, and a plurality of edges, wherein each edge joins a vertex of the first type with a vertex of the second type. A unipartite edge dual graph is generated from the bipartite graph, and a minimum clique partition of the edge dual graph is recursively determined. A biclique is then created in the bipartite graph corresponding to each clique in the minimum clique partition of the edge dual graph.
摘要:
Software self-checking mechanisms are described for improving software tamper resistance and/or reliability. Redundant tests are performed to detect modifications to a program while it is running. Modifications are recorded or reported. Embodiments of the software self-checking mechanisms can be implemented such that they are relatively stealthy and robust, and so that it they are compatible with copy-specific static watermarking and other tamper-resistance techniques.
摘要:
Systems and methods are disclosed for embedding information in software and/or other electronic content such that the information is difficult for an unauthorized party to detect, remove, insert, forge, and/or corrupt. The embedded information can be used to protect electronic content by identifying the content's source, thus enabling unauthorized copies or derivatives to be reliably traced, and thus facilitating effective legal recourse by the content owner. Systems and methods are also disclosed for protecting, detecting, removing, and decoding information embedded in electronic content, and for using the embedded information to protect software or other media from unauthorized analysis, attack, and/or modification.
