  • Test data management
    Patent number: 9513997
    Abstract: A method for managing test data includes receiving a request indicative of a testing application from a requesting user and identifying a plurality of test data in a source database matching the request. Further, the method includes determining a reserved status of the plurality of test data, and, when the reserved status indicates that the plurality of test data is not reserved by the user other than the requesting user, reserving the plurality of test data for the requesting user. Still further, the method includes transferring a copy of the plurality of test data to a test database, wherein a testing application executes based on the copy of the plurality of test data stored in the test database.

  • POINTGUARD: METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR PROTECTING PROGRAMS AGAINST POINTER CORRUPTION ATTACKS
    Publication number: 20080060077
    Abstract: To protect computer programs against security attacks that attempt to corrupt pointers within the address space of the program, the value of a pointer is encrypted each time the pointer is initialized or modified, and then the value is decrypted before use, i.e., each time the pointer is read. Preferably, the encrypting and decrypting steps are effected by instructions generated by a compiler during compilation of the program. One convenient method of implementing the encrypting and decrypting steps is by XOR'ing the pointer with a predetermined encryption key value, which could be specially selected or selected at random.
