Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention facilitate the solicitation of user input while allowing for dynamic changes to that input while concurrently ranking the same. Ranking occurs in real-time and allows for a user to alter their contribution or vote until the close of a contribution period allowing real-time influences to be taken into account. Contributions may be provided in response to or as a part of a template driven nomination process. Solicitations of input may occur in the context of a pre-defined slate of options for voting, nominating certain options for a subsequent or concurrent voting process, or choosing/suggest more than one option such as the best of a slate of options or the individual ranking of a slate of options. Embodiments of the present invention capture all user nominations or suggestions while simultaneously providing the real-time ranking and dynamic re-ranking of those nominations or suggestions.

Abstract: A system and method for protecting a software program from unauthorized modification or exploitation. A software security mechanism according to the present invention is difficult for a hacker or cracker to detect and/or defeat, but does not impose excessive runtime overhead on the host software program. The present invention further comprises a system and method for automating the injection of a software security mechanism according to the present invention into a host software program.
