Abstract: The invention concerns a process to protect a vulnerable software working on a data processing system against its unauthorized usage using a processing and memorizing unit. The process comprises creating a protected software by choosing in the source of the vulnerable software at least one conditional branch and by producing the source of the protected software so that during the execution of the protected software a second execution part, executed in the processing and memorizing unit, executes at least the functionality of the chosen conditional branch and puts at the data processing system's disposal a piece of information enabling it to know where to carry on the execution of the software.

The process comprises defining: 1) a set of dependent functions whose dependent functions are liable to be executed in a processing and memorizing unit 2) a set of triggering commands, said triggering commands being liable to be executed in the data processing system and to trigger the execution in a processing and memorizing unit, of the dependent functions 3) for each triggering command, an order 4) a method of renaming of the orders 5) restoring means designed to be implemented in a processing and memorizing unit during a usage phase, and enabling to restore the dependent function to execute, from the renamed order.

Abstract: The invention concerns a process to protect a vulnerable software working on a data processing system against its unauthorized usage using a memorizing unit. The process comprises creating a protected software by choosing in the source of the vulnerable software at least one variable and by producing the source of the protected software by modifying the source of the vulnerable software, so that the chosen variable resides in the memorizing unit.

Abstract: The invention concerns a process to protect a vulnerable software working on a data processing system against its unauthorized usage using a processing and memorizing unit. The process comprises creating a protected software by choosing in the source of the vulnerable software at least one algorithmic processing and by producing the source of the protected software so that during the execution of the protected software appear several distinct steps, namely 1) the placing of at least one operand at the processing and memorizing unit's disposal 2) the carrying out by the processing and memorizing unit, of the algorithmic processing's functionality on at least said operand 3) and possibly, the placing at the data processing system's disposal of at least one result by the processing and memorizing unit.

Abstract: The invention concerns a process to protect a vulnerable software working on a data processing system against its unauthorized usage using a processing and memorizing unit. The process comprises defining: 1) at least one software execution characteristic, liable to be monitored at least in part in a processing and memorizing unit 2) at least one criterion to abide by for at least one software execution characteristic 3) detection means to implement in a processing and memorizing unit and enabling to detect that at least one software execution characteristic does not abide by at least one associated criterion 4) coercion means to implement in a processing and memorizing unit and enabling to inform the data processing system and/or modify the execution of a software when at least one criterion is not abided by.

Abstract: A method of making secure the use of a piece of software, the method consisting: in a substage of generating modified data (D?): for a first category of users possessing a generation unit (11g) including at least one generation secret (Sg) to be able to obtain modified data (D?); and for a second category of users not possessing the generation unit (11g), to be able at best to generate original data (D) without being able to translate it in order to obtain modified data (D?); and in a substage of reconstituting original data (D): for a first category of users possessing a reconstitution unit including at least a reconstitution secret, to be able to restore the original data (D); and for a second category of users not possessing the reconstitution unit, to be able at best to use the modified data (D?).
