  • Patent number: 11574046
    Abstract: In a general aspect, a method of protecting a software program against tampering can include: executing, by a processor of a user device, an executable code of the software program, the executable code comprising integrity check code sections; during execution of one of the integrity check code sections of the executable code, computing by the processor an integrity check result applied to a code segment of the executable code; transmitting by the processor to a server a message containing the integrity check result and an identifier of the code segment; and when the integrity check result does not correspond to a reference result for the code segment of a genuine version of the software program, receiving by the processor from the server a signal that prevents an operation of the software program from being executed by the processor.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 6754834
    Abstract: A technique for generating a correlation number for use in lawful interception of telecommunications traffic includes handling one of either a “PDP (Packet Data Protocol) context activation” or “Start of intercept(ion) with PDP context active” event and generating a unique PDP-ID (PDP Context Identifier) in response thereto. An MCC (Mobile Country Code) and an MNC (Mobile Network Code) of a network operator is identified, as is a DF (Delivery Function)-ID of a DF. The MCC and MNC are combined to generate an Operator-ID. The generated PDP-ID and the generated Operator-ID and the DF-ID are combined to generate the correlation number.

An MCC (Mobile Country Code) and an MNC (Mobile Network Code) of a network operator is identified, as is a DF (Delivery Function) -ID of a DF. The MCC and MNC are combined to generate an Operator-ID. The generated PDP-ID and the generated Operator-ID and the DF-ID are combined to generate the correlation number.
