  • Security cloud service framework for hardening in the field code of mobile software applications
    Patent number: 10181029
    Abstract: A method for hardening in the field code of mobile software applications is described that includes receiving, by a cloud service framework, an application via a user interface over a network. The method also includes generating, by the cloud service framework, a representation of the code of the application and determining, by the cloud service framework, changes to code of the application based at least in part on the representation, wherein the changes to the code preclude the application from performing one or more unwanted behaviors. The method also includes instrumenting, by a static instrumentation unit within the cloud service framework, the application with the changes to the code to create an instrumented application that does not perform the one or more unwanted behaviors.

  • Framework for efficient security coverage of mobile software applications that is usable to harden in the field code
    Patent number: 9824209
    Abstract: A method is described that includes receiving an application and creating a representation of the application that describes states and state transitions of the application. The method further includes receiving a description of unwanted behaviors of the application. The method further includes using the description and the representation to determine actions to be added to the application and locations within the application where the actions are to be performed. The method also includes instrumenting the application with the actions in the locations to create an instrumented application that does not perform the unwanted behaviors.
