  • Copy-paste trust system
    Patent number: 8656461
    Abstract: Various embodiments are disclosed relating to performing a trusted copy and paste operations between a source application and a target application. For example, a trust system may receive a paste request for pasting copied source content, and may compare a source trust level associated with the source content to a target trust level associated with a target application. In this way, for example, harmful or disruptive code may be prevented from being pasted into the target application.

  • Securing mixed-mode applications
    Patent number: 8370950
    Abstract: Embodiments are directed to securing mixed-mode applications in a semi-trusted environment. In an embodiment, a computer system securely loads native data files associated with a mixed-mode application. The secure loading ensures that the native components upon which the managed component depends are authentic. The computer system implements a securely stored handle associated with the loaded native data files to provide secure communications between the managed component and the loaded native data files. The handle provides a trusted function pointer to an associated mixed-mode application function. The computer system also initiates a security permission request for each resource that is passed to the native components during execution of the mixed-mode application, so that each resource is verified before execution.

  • Resource based dynamic security authorization
    Patent number: 8245270
    Abstract: Access to a resource by sandboxed code is dynamically authorized by a client security system based on a resource based policy. A sandboxed application running on a client is granted access to a resource based on a resource based policy despite denial of the access based on a static policy associated with the client security system. The granting of access coincides with the determination that the threat to a user or the user's information is not increased should the access be granted.

  • Digital signatures for embedded code
    Patent number: 7814328
    Abstract: Generating a digital signature of an entire embedded code project is provided while maintaining certain exclusion areas so that a productivity application can incorporate application-specific information into the embedded code project without hampering the digital signature. A tree structure of data may be serialized into a data stream. The tree structure may include multiple branches and one or more elements identified as an exclusion area. A digital signature of the data stream may be created and included in a document associated with the tree structure.

  • Providing instrumentation data to an instrumentation data source from within a managed code
    Patent number: 7631300
    Abstract: A computer-implemented method for exposing instrumentation data available from within a managed code environment to an instrumentation data source executing outside of said managed code environment is presented. The method comprises each of the following. An indication is received that said instrumentation data should be exposed to said instrumentation data source. In response to receiving said indication, a decoupled provider is loaded. The decoupled provider facilitates communication between said managed code environment and said instrumentation data source. A determination is made as to whether schema describing said instrumentation data has been previously registered with said instrumentation data source. In response to determining that said schema has not been previously registered with said instrumentation data source, said schema is registered with said instrumentation data source through said decoupled provider.

  • Protecting a computer that provides a Web service from malware
    Patent number: 7603712
    Abstract: In accordance with the present invention, a system, method, and computer-readable medium for identifying malware in a request to a Web service is provided. One aspect of the present invention is a computer-implemented method for protecting a computer that provides a Web service from malware made in a Web request. When a request is received, an on-demand compilation system compiles high-level code associated with the request into binary code that may be executed. However, before the code is executed, antivirus software designed to identify malware scans the binary code for malware. If malware is identified, the antivirus software prevents the binary code associated with the request from being executed.

  • Method and apparatus for providing instrumentation data to an instrumentation data source from within a managed code environment
    Patent number: 6996809
    Abstract: A method and apparatus for providing instrumentation data to an instrumentation data source from within a managed code environment is provided. A decoupled provider is provided that executes partially in managed code and partially in unmanaged code. The decoupled provider facilitates communication with an instrumentation data source. The decoupled provider also dynamically registers schema for managed code objects to be instrumented at run-time. The decoupled provider also receives and processes requests from the instrumentation data source to retrieve instance data for managed code objects, to write properties on managed code objects, and to execute methods on managed code objects.
