Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
Sensitive data is protected in a software product. A source file of the software product is compiled to generate an object file, in which the source file includes at least one piece of sensitive data marked with a specific identifier. The object file has a secure data section for saving storage information of the at least one piece of sensitive data at compile-time and run-time. The object file is linked to generate an executable file. The executable file updates the secure data section at run-time. Sensitive data is also protected when a core dump is generated.
First claim
