METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR DETECTING UNAUTHORIZED ACCESS TO A COMPUTING DEVICE AND SECURELY COMMUNICATING INFORMATION ABOUT SUCH UNAUTHORIZED ACCESS

摘要

A method and apparatus for detecting attacks against a computing device are described. Such attacks may be detected by the device and reported to a requesting entity in a manner that makes it difficult for an attacker to know that the attack has been detected. Several exemplary embodiments comprising different client/server and client/network type systems are presented.
