Systems and methods are described that use cryptographic techniques to improve the security of applications executing in a potentially untrusted environment associated with a software application. Embodiments of the disclosed systems and methods may, among other things, facilitate cryptographic operations within an execution environment associated with browser software of a client system while maintaining security of cryptographic keys imported into the environment. As the security of keys is maintained in an execution environment implementing embodiments of the disclosed systems and methods, users and/or systems may be more willing to consign their keys for use in connection with cryptographic operations performed in such environments.

Cryptographic systems and methods

This disclosure relates to systems and methods for performing cryptographic operations in connection with the management of electronic content using multiple license services. In some circumstances, a content service may not wish to share unencrypted content keys with a single license service for a variety of security reasons. Embodiments of the disclosed systems and methods may use multi-party cryptographic methods in connection with the management of protected content keys and/or associated licenses and/or the distribution of content keys and/or licenses to authorized users and/or devices. In various embodiments, a content service may split a content key into a plurality of key shares and may transmit the key shares to a plurality of different license services. The license services may coordinate operations to generate a protected content key without revealing unencrypted content key to any of the participating license services.

Multi-party cryptographic systems and methods

The disclosure relates to systems and methods for managing state using relatively small assistance from protected hardware. Obfuscated code segments may communicate with supporting protected hardware, store encrypted state values in main memory, and/or communicate via secure channels to secure platform hardware components. In various embodiments, consistent state may be achieved, at least in part, by computing secure tag information and storing the secure tag information in a secure and/or otherwise protected device register. Consistent with embodiments disclosed herein, the tag information may be used to derive keys used to encrypt and/or decrypt stored state information. Tag information may further be used in connection with verification operations prior to using the information to derive associated keys.

Systems and methods for managing state

This disclosure relates to, among other things, electronic device security systems and methods. Certain embodiments disclosed herein provide for protection of cryptographic keys and/or associated operations using both an operating system security service and a software-based whitebox cryptographic security service executing on a device. Leveraging operating system security services and software-based whitebox cryptographic security services may provide enhanced security when compared to using either service alone to protect cryptographic keys and associated operations. In additional embodiments, server-side cryptographic security solutions may be further used to enhance device security implementations.

Enhanced security systems and methods using a hybrid security solution

Systems and methods are described that use software diversification techniques to improve the security of mobile applications. Embodiments of the disclosed systems and methods may, among other things, facilitate secure application distribution through deployment of diverse of applications in an application distribution channel. Software diversification consistent with certain disclosed embodiments may mitigate large-scale automated circumvention of security protections by presenting attacking malware moving and/or otherwise unpredictable diverse targets.
