PAYLOAD DATA REMOVAL FROM EXECUTION TRACES - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240211375 titled 'PAYLOAD DATA REMOVAL FROM EXECUTION TRACES
The patent application involves a method for removing payload data from an execution trace by identifying the payload data item, determining constraints placed on it by particular executable code, and replacing the value of the payload data item with information maintaining those constraints.
- Identification of payload data item within an execution trace
- Determination of constraints placed on the payload data item by specific executable code
- Replacement of payload data item value with information preserving constraints
- Information maintaining constraints can include bytes of executable code, memory addresses, or data structured to preserve code flow
- Examples of information maintaining constraints include replacement values, valid value specifications, or instructions for code paths
Potential Applications: - Data security and privacy protection - Debugging and analysis of software behavior - Optimization of code execution efficiency
Problems Solved: - Secure removal of sensitive data from execution traces - Enhanced traceability and analysis of code behavior - Improved data protection in software development processes
Benefits: - Increased data security and privacy compliance - Enhanced debugging and analysis capabilities - Streamlined software development processes
Commercial Applications: Title: Secure Data Removal Technology for Software Development Description: This technology can be utilized by software development companies to enhance data security, streamline debugging processes, and improve code analysis efficiency. It can be integrated into development tools and platforms to ensure secure handling of sensitive information.
Questions about Secure Data Removal Technology: 1. How does this technology contribute to data security in software development? 2. What are the potential implications of using this technology in debugging processes?
Frequently Updated Research: Stay updated on the latest advancements in data security and privacy protection in software development to enhance the effectiveness of this technology.

Original Abstract Submitted
removing payload data from an execution trace. embodiments identify a pay load data item within an execution trace, identify particular executable code that interacted with the payload data item, and determine constraint(s) that execution of the particular executable code has placed on the pay load data item. embodiments then replace a value of the payload data item in the execution trace with information maintaining the constraint(s). examples of information maintaining the constraint(s) include one or more bytes of the particular executable code. a memory address corresponding to the pay load data item, and data structured to preserve code flow-such as a replacement value for the pay load data item, a specification of a set of one or more valid values for the pay load data item, or an instruction of a code path to follow in the particular executable code.
