Abstract: The various embodiments of the present invention provide a secure software distribution and execution method. According to the method, a server receives software from service provider for downloading to a client and identifies the sections for encoding. APIs are inserted in the identified sections. A unique ID is created based on the identity of the each client to generate an encryption algorithm, decryption key and decryption algorithm. The identified sections are encrypted with the generated encryption algorithm. The encrypted application along with encryption algorithm, decryption key and decryption algorithm are downloaded to the driver of the client machine. The API makes call to the driver by sending the encrypted segment when the encrypted portion is reached during the execution of software in the client machine so that the driver decrypts the encoded portion using the received key and the decryption algorithm to enable the continuous execution of the downloaded software.

Abstract: The various embodiments of the invention provide a method for executing code securely in a general purpose computer. According to one embodiment, a code is downloaded into a cache memory of a computer in which the code is to be executed. The code downloaded into the cache memory is encrypted in the cache memory. Then the encrypted code in the cache memory is decrypted using a decryption algorithm to obtain the decrypted code. The decrypted code is executed in the cache to generate a result. The decrypted code is destroyed in the cache memory after the forwarding the result to a user.
