System and method for validating and controlling applications

摘要

A system and method for validating an application and for controlling execution of an application. A plurality of parameters may be computed for an authenticated object and for a tested object. A plurality of comparison and other metrics may be computed based on the computed plurality of parameters. Control of an execution of programs may be based on said metrics. Other embodiments are described and claimed.

1. A method of validating and controlling applications comprising:
computing a plurality of parameters for a validated digital object and for a tested digital object, wherein the tested digital object is an application being validated; computing a plurality of comparison metrics based on said parameters, wherein computing at least one of said metrics comprises performing a membership-check to determine if a parameter associated with said tested digital object is a member of a predefined group and wherein said membership-check comprises utilizing a Bloom filter; utilizing said plurality of comparison metrics to compute a measure of difference between said validated digital object and said tested digital object; providing an indication of a level of validity of the tested digital object based on the comparison metrics; and controlling an execution of said application according to the level of validity, wherein controlling comprises disabling an operation of the application if the level of validity is within a preconfigured range.
