摘要:
To aim to provide a monitoring system and a program execution apparatus that are capable of maintaining the security intensity even in the case where an unauthentic install module is invalidated. Install modules included in an apparatus each monitor an install module, which is a monitoring target indicated by a monitoring pattern included therein, as to whether the install module performs malicious operations. An install module that performs malicious operations is invalidated in accordance with an instruction from an update server. The monitoring patterns are restructured by the update server such that the install modules except the invalidated install module are each monitored by at least another one of the install modules. The restructured monitoring patterns are distributed to the install modules except the invalidated install module.
摘要:
To aim provide a software update apparatus including an install module group (130) composed of a plurality of install modules. Each of the install modules has a function of receiving, from an external server (200), a replacement protection control module (121) to be used for updating a protection control module (120) having a function of verifying whether a predetermined application has been tampered with. Each of the install modules simultaneously running is verified by at least another one of the install modules simultaneously running, as to whether the install module has a possibility of performing malicious operations. If any of the install modules is verified as having the possibility of performing the malicious operations, any another one of the install modules that is verified as not having the possibility revokes the any install module verified as having the possibility.
摘要:
A management device detects whether any normal monitoring module that has not been tampered with exists by referring to monitoring results received from an information security device and selects, when existence is detected, one of the monitoring modules and assumes that the selected monitoring module has been tampered with. The monitoring device then successively applies a procedure to monitoring modules other than the selected monitoring module by referring to the monitoring results, starting from the selected monitoring module, the procedure being to assume that any monitoring module determining that a monitoring module assumed to have been tampered with is normal has also been tampered with. As a result of the procedure, when all of the monitoring modules are assumed to have been tampered with the management device determines the selected monitoring module to be a normal monitoring module that has not been tampered with.

摘要:
An information security apparatus includes a plurality of monitoring modules that monitor for tampering. A management apparatus includes a reception unit that receives a plurality of monitoring results each generated by a source monitoring module monitoring a target monitoring module; a detection unit that detects an abnormality by referring to fewer than all of the received monitoring results; and an identification unit that identifies, when an abnormality is detected, a monitoring module that has been tampered with from among (i) a monitoring module that generates a monitoring result related to the abnormality, and (ii) one or more monitoring modules identified by tracing back through a chain of monitoring modules consecutively from the target of monitoring to the source of monitoring, starting from the monitoring module that generates the monitoring result related to the abnormality.

A malicious-module identification device (200a) identifies and deactivates a malicious module operating in an information processing device (100a) connected thereto via a network. The malicious-module identification device is provided with a reception unit (2310) for receiving results of tampering detection from a plurality of modules for detecting tampering, a determination unit (210a) for assuming that a module among the plurality of modules is a normal module, determining, based on the assumption, whether a contradiction occurs in the received results of tampering detection, and identifying the module assumed to be a normal module as a malicious module when determining that a contradiction occurs, and a deactivation unit (2320) for outputting an instruction to deactivate the module identified as the malicious module.
摘要:
Provided is a tampering monitoring system that can identify a monitoring module that has been tampered with among a plurality of monitoring modules. A management apparatus is provided with an acquisition unit that acquires a new monitoring module that has not been tampered with, a generation unit that generates a decoy monitoring module by modifying the acquired monitoring module, a transmission unit that transmits the decoy monitoring module to the information security device and causes the information security device to install the decoy monitoring module therein, a reception unit that receives from the information security device, after the decoy monitoring module has been installed, monitoring results generated by the monitoring modules monitoring other monitoring modules, and a determination unit that identifies, by referring to the received monitoring results, a monitoring module that determines the decoy monitoring module to be valid and determines the identified monitoring module to be invalid.

摘要:
An update server acquires, from an apparatus, a result of verifications relating to tampering of a protection control module and each of install modules included in an install module group. The update server determines a processing procedure of the apparatus depending on the acquired result of the verifications. Specifically, if it is judged that the protection control module and each of the install modules is unauthentic, then the update server transmits, to the apparatus, an instruction to perform updating of the unauthentic protection control module in preference to a revocation of the unauthentic install module.
