White-Box Cryptographic Parameter Integrity

The patent combines the data string with the parameters used in data processing functions by incorporating the data string into the bit representation of the parameters. This merging ensures that the parameters serve dual purposes: maintaining the data processing function while simultaneously protecting the data string. Any attempt to attack or modify the parameters would directly affect the data processing function, making the system more resilient to attacks on software plug-ins and key handling mechanisms.

The patent applies preliminary action by pre-incorporating the data string into the parameters before the data processing function is executed. This pre-integration ensures that the parameters are already protected against tampering before any processing occurs, eliminating the need for additional complex protection mechanisms during runtime. The data string is embedded in the parameter structure itself, so no separate management or verification steps are required during execution.

The patent applies local quality by making the parameters locally adapted to include the specific data string required for protection. Each parameter is customized to incorporate its associated data string in a way that maintains the local data processing function while providing tamper resistance. This localized integration means that modifications can still occur in controlled, function-specific ways without compromising overall system security, as each parameter's structure is optimized for its particular processing role.
