Abstract
A method of locking data and a program that analyzes the data commences with a generation of a first key. This first key is associated with both the data and a specific, compiled copy of the program. A gatekeeper logic is generated. The gatekeeper logic utilizes at least the first key to prevent the specific, compiled copy of the program from analyzing data other than the specific data. In this way, the specific copy of the program is locked to specific data, and is accordingly limited to performing analysis operations utilizing the specific data.
