CRYPTOGRAPHIC SYSTEM AND METHODOLOGY FOR SECURING SOFTWARE CRYPTOGRAPHY

A cryptosystem having a secure Cryptographic Virtual Machine (CVM) protected by a Tamper-Proof Virtual Layer (TPVL) for performing cryptography in software is described. The CVM and TPVL allow software applications to store and process cryptographic keys and data in a secure and tamper-proof manner,...

Summary:A cryptosystem having a secure Cryptographic Virtual Machine (CVM) protected by a Tamper-Proof Virtual Layer (TPVL) for performing cryptography in software is described. The CVM and TPVL allow software applications to store and process cryptographic keys and data in a secure and tamper-proof manner, without requiring the use of a Hardware Security Module (HSM). L'invention concerne un cryptosystème comportant une machine virtuelle cryptographique (CVM) sécurisée protégée par une couche virtuelle inviolable (TPVL) permettant de réaliser une cryptographie dans un logiciel. La CVM et la TPVL permettent à des applications logicielles de stocker et de traiter des clés et des données cryptographiques de manière sécurisée et inviolable, sans recourir à l'utilisation d'un module de sécurité matériel (HSM).
