Method and apparatus for detecting corrupt software code

摘要

A method for detecting corrupt software code includes defining a correlation rule for a program, writing the program to a memory device and reading two or more of the markers from the memory device. The program includes at least one segment. Each segment includes executable codes and the segments include multiple markers. The correlation rule defines a relationship between two or more of the markers. The method also includes determining whether one of the segments is corrupt by applying the correlation rule to the markers read from the device and indicating whether one of the segments is corrupt based upon the determination.
