Abstract

See full text

Systems and methods for selective authorization of dependent code modules are provided. According to one embodiment, responsive to a monitored file system or operating system event initiated by an active process, a real-time authentication process is performed or bypassed on a code module to which the monitored event relates with reference to a whitelist that includes cryptographic hash values of approved code modules, which are known not to contain viruses or malicious code. The active process is allowed to load the code module when the authentication process is bypassed or when the cryptographic hash value of the code module matches one of the cryptographic hash values of approved code modules within the whitelist.
