  • Publication number: 20080235473
    Abstract: A data-processing system having at least one operating memory holding operating data is provided with a protection unit having an execution environment protected from unauthorized access. At least one monitoring logic in the execution environment is connected to the operating memory for monitoring unauthorized modifications, access, or similar protection violations of the operating data stored in the operating memory and for generating an output on detection of such a protection violation. A protection logic in the execution environment holds replacement data capable of replacing the operating data and is connected to the monitoring logic for, on generation of the output, providing to the operating memory the replacement data for the operation or for a substitute operation of the data-processing system.

  • Publication number: 20060143474
    Abstract: A method for authenticating a software package, which is provided by a software supplier and which contains a software component that can be loaded into a terminal. The software component is provided with a first authentication suffix, which is verified in order to carry out an authenticity test in the terminal. A higher-level authenticating site is provided, performing authenticating measures on the software package to increase security, wherein the measures performed by the higher-level authenticating site include providing the software package with at least one second authentication suffix instead of the first authentication suffix after successful checking of the software package provided by the software provider and including the first authentication suffix in addition to the software component of the software package.
