LICENSABLE FUNCTION FOR SECURING STORED DATA

摘要

For securing content accessed from storage device, the storage device is associated with a licensee identifier. The licensee identifier is provided as input to an algorithm that generates, based on the identifier, a determinate set of instructions for a computer, for example, source code in a coding language, compiled binary code, or pseudo code that is capable of being translated into source code. The code, once compiled to machine-usable form, can be executed by a processor to perform a permutation operation that is unique to the licensee identifier. The output of the permutation operation can be used for protecting data provided by the storage device.

主权项

1. A computer-implemented method for enabling a secure electronic data using a licensable function, the method comprising:
defining a licensee identifier comprising binary data recorded in a computer memory; generating a plurality of instructions for implementing a cryptographic permutation function, at least in part by providing the licensee identifier to an instruction-generating algorithm; and providing at least one of the instructions or an executable function compiled from source code based on the instructions to a licensee identified by the licensee identifier for use in protecting electronic data for one or more devices associated with the licensee identifier.
