Abstract: A storage medium stores a program of instructions executable by a computer to perform a function for preventing unauthorized use of program data. The function has a process of judging whether or not a storage area of the program data is writable and a process of executing an unauthorized use prevention process to prevent an unauthorized use of the program data stored in the storage area when the storage area of the program data is writable.

Abstract: An information processing system includes a monitoring program starting unit and a protection target program monitoring unit. When a protection target program to be protected is started, the monitoring program starting unit starts a monitoring program that monitors the protection target program. The protection target program monitoring unit monitors the protection target program by the monitoring program.

Abstract: A storage medium readable by a computer is provided. The storage medium stores a program of instructions executable by the computer to perform a function for protecting a target function. The function includes generating an inserted function, having a function name identical to the function name of the target function, that includes code for a process relating to protection of the target function and a call instruction for calling the target function after this process, and generating a protected executable code on the basis of an object code, in which the function name of a function definition of the target function has been changed to a second function name, and the inserted function.

Abstract: There is provided a ticket issuing system issuing an electronic ticket for digital content to a user system attempting to utilize the digital content by means of the electronic ticket. The ticket issuing system includes a receiver that receives a request to issue the electronic ticket for the digital content from the user system attempting to utilize the digital content using the electronic ticket, and an issuance controller that controls issuance of the electronic ticket for the digital content to the user system, on the basis of a retained electronic ticket in the user system.

Abstract: An execution program including encoded code portions is executed on an operating system inhibiting the rewriting of program code area. The execution program includes encoding target code and code not encoded. Immediately before executing the encoding target code, the encoding targets code is decoded and relocation processing is performed for the encoding target code. Immediately after starting the encoding target code, the encoding target code is not decoded. When the program execution has proceeded to the stage in which to execute the encoding target code, an area for decoding the encoding target code is allocated, and then the encoding target code is decoded within the area and thus relocated.

Abstract: An electronic ticket system for virtually preventing forgery, copying and other unauthorized uses of electronic tickets; for proving to a third party the contents of an electronic ticket contested between a user and an issuing party; and for protecting users' anonymity upon ticket use. The system comprises a ticket creating and issuing device, a ticket proving device, and a ticket verification device. A ticket creating unit in the ticket creating and issuing device creates specifications of a ticket representing a predetermined service or product in response to a ticket creating request. A ticket issuing unit of the ticket creating and issuing device, in reply to a ticket issuing request, issues the corresponding ticket using as input a ticket identifier, a proving identifier, a ticket specification identifier, and ticket added information. The ticket proving device gets a ticket issued by the ticket issuing unit and communicates with the ticket verification device to prove the possession of the ticket.
