METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR RUN-TIME DYNAMIC AND INTERACTIVE IDENTIFICATION OF SOFTWARE AUTHORIZATION REQUIREMENTS AND PRIVILEGED CODE LOCATIONS, AND FOR VALIDATION OF OTHER SOFTWARE PROGRAM ANALYSIS RESULTS

摘要

A system, method and computer program product for identifying security authorizations and privileged-code requirements; for validating analyses performed using static analyses; for automatically evaluating existing security policies; for detecting problems in code; in a run¬ time execution environment in which a software program is executing. The method comprises: implementing reflection objects for identifying program points in the executing program where authorization failures have occurred in response to the program's attempted access of resources requiring authorization; displaying instances of identified program points via a user interface, the identified instances being user selectable; for a selected program point, determining authorization and privileged-code requirements for the access restricted resources in real-time; and, enabling a user to select, via the user interface, whether a required authorization should be granted, wherein local system, fine-grained access of resources requiring authorizations is provided.
