File protection method for executable files using loading and integrity codes
A recently granted patent (Publication Number: US11921874B2) discloses a file protection method for a computer apparatus that involves extracting classes from an executable file, classifying them into groups, adding loading and integrity codes to specific class groups, and regenerating the package file. The method includes designating protected and non-protected classes, encrypting protected classes, adding loading code to a static initialization function, and adding integrity verification code to detect modifications in the classes. Additionally, the method involves controlling another computer apparatus to access integrity information and add protection code to prevent disassembly, decompilation, or debugging.
Furthermore, the patent describes a process where a first class group is loaded into memory, encrypted class groups are restored using loading codes, and executable file information is designated for recognition by a class loader. The method also includes verifying the integrity of class groups using integrity codes and terminating execution if any compromise is detected. The patent also covers a computer apparatus with processing circuitry to execute the file protection method, including loading, restoring, verifying integrity, and terminating execution based on the verification results, ensuring secure file execution and protection against unauthorized modifications.
