Abstract
Apparatus, method, and computer readable medium for generating and utilizing a feature code to monitor a program are provided. The program is run in a secure environment at the beginning. The program calls a function through an application program interface. A return address of the application program interface is used to generate the feature code. When the application runs again at another time, the feature code is utilized to monitor the program. According to the aforementioned arrangement and steps, the application program interface can be monitored dynamically. Consequently, any program can be monitored by this approach, which results in a more secure environment. Further, fewer application program interfaces are required to be monitored, so the required computer resource is less.
