Isolated Runtime Loading for Cross-Distribution Linux Security Services
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
The diversity of Linux distributions in smart devices poses challenges for implementing security services, as traditional solutions struggle to compile and integrate effectively across different distributions, necessitating a more adaptable and efficient method for security program deployment.
Innovation Solution
A data processing method and apparatus that utilizes a target loading and invasion machine (LLIM) to create a second memory space and configure an isolated runtime environment for a security service program, allowing it to run in a threaded manner within a first program's memory space, applicable across various Linux distributions with a single compilation.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If traditional compilation and integration methods are used for security services across different Linux distributions, then each distribution requires separate compilation and integration, but this increases device complexity and deployment difficulty
Solution Approach 1:
The patent creates a universal security service deployment mechanism that works across multiple Linux distributions simultaneously. By using a standardized injection interface and common runtime environment, a single compiled security service can be deployed universally across different distributions without requiring separate compilation for each distribution, thus resolving the contradiction between adaptability and complexity
Solution Approach 2:
The patent introduces an intermediary component (the injection interface and runtime environment) that mediates between the security service and different Linux distributions. This intermediary layer abstracts the distribution-specific differences, allowing the security service to be compiled once and deployed across multiple distributions without direct interaction with distribution-specific compilation systems, reducing overall complexity
2Adaptability or versatility
If security services are deployed across diverse Linux distributions, then broader coverage is achieved, but the diversity of distributions creates integration challenges
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements a universal deployment mechanism where the security service is designed to work across multiple Linux distributions through a standardized interface. The runtime environment provides distribution-agnostic functionality, allowing easy deployment across diverse distributions without requiring distribution-specific adaptation or compilation steps
Solution Approach 2:
The patent segments the deployment process into distinct components: the security service itself, the injection interface, and the runtime environment. This segmentation allows each component to be optimized independently while maintaining ease of deployment across distributions. The security service is compiled once, the injection interface handles distribution-specific entry points, and the runtime environment provides consistent execution, simplifying the overall deployment process

AI summary
Provided are a data processing method and apparatus applied to a target device in which a Linux operating system is running. A first program is deployed in the Linux operating system. The method includes: loading a target loading and invasion machine into a first memory space of the first program, and creating, in the first memory space, a second memory space for the target loading and invasion machine, where the second memory space is simply available to the target loading and invasion machine and to a program loadable by the target loading and invasion machine; configuring a second runtime environment for a second program, where the second runtime environment is isolated from a first runtime environment of the first program; and loading the second program into the second memory space based on the second runtime environment, and running the second program in a threaded manner.
