Computer implemented method and a system for controlling dynamically the execution of a code

Abstract

According to the invention, there is provided a computer implemented method for controlling dynamically the execution of a code by a processing system, said execution being described by a control flow graph comprising a plurality of basic blocks composed of at least an input node and an output node, a transition in the control flow graph corresponding to a link between an output node of origin belonging to a first basic block and an input node of a second basic block, a plurality of initialization vectors being associated to the output nodes at the time of generating the code, an a priori control word being associated to each input node which is linked to the same output node of origin according the control flow graph, said a priori control word being precomputed at the time of generating the code by applying a predefined deterministic function F to the initialization vector associated to its output node of origin, the following steps being applied once the execution of the output node belonging to a first basic block is terminated and at the time of executing the input node of a second basic block: providing () the a priori control word associated to the input node of the second basic block; providing () the initialization vector associated to the output node of the first basic block; determining () an a posteriori control word by applying to the provided initialization vector the same function F which has been used for generating the a priori control word; determining () if the a priori control word matches with the a posteriori control word, a forbidden transition in respect to the control flow graph being otherwise detected ().
