Abstract: A method to debug application interface calls made to a tamper-resistant software module. The method comprises the steps of: loading a first application to be debugged using a debugging application, wherein the application makes one or more function calls to a tamper-resistant software module. A debugger application for symbolically debugging the first application is run and the debugger application with an initialization file that performs the steps of: loading a client application running a client socket service; loading a server application running a server socket service; loading the tamper-resistant software module with one or more function calls made thereto by the first application. The client application translates the one or more function calls made to the tamper-resistant software module during the running of the debugger application into socket calls and returns any status received from the socket calls to the first application.
