CA 2324759
Tamper resistance is provided to avoid observation of the behavior of portions of software by calling a function exclusively available in one differentiated section of a processor and its peripherals and drivers from another differentiated section. A pseudo-random binary sequence generator is associated with each such differentiated section and incremented incident to the calling and performance of the function, respectively. The pseudo-random binary sequence values are compared prior to allowing or preventing further execution of the software. The comparison can be performed at any privilege level and a variation of the invention provides additional security by utilizing an additional privileged function to perform the comparison. An enhancement of the invention corrupts data or program files using a PRBS value at one privilege level and performs the inverse function to restore the data or program files at another privilege level with its own PRBS value.
