<p>A system and method for registering software controls within a secure operating environment is disclosed. The software controls reside within the operating environment in coordination with a control manager. The manager facilitates registration and authorization of new controls. The manager detects that new control has been placed within the operating environment. The manager reads the type of the control. The manager initiates an encode/decode sequence with the control. A key string is exchanged and modified between the manager and the control. Preferably, a random number is generated and added to the key string by the manager. The manager reads the result of the encode/decode sequence from the control. If the result is acceptable, then the manager adds the control to its control list and plumbs all of the controls within the operating environment. If the result is not acceptable, the manager ignores or shutdowns the control.</p> |
