Method and system for tracking or identifying copy of implementation of computational method, and computation system

Abstract

A method and system is provided facilitating tracing copies of an implementation of a computational method where different versions of a network of look-up tables representing steps of the computational method are generated, and stored in a memory, each version being unique so that output encodings and/or input decodings of the white-box implementations of the computational method are different in the different versions. The network is formed by using an output value of a first look-up table as an input value of a second look-up table. The different versions are generated by changing at least one value in the network, end results of the version corresponding to a relevant domain of input values being substantially the same for each version. A method and system for computation for a user with the corresponding version in the memory, and/or for identifying a copy of an implementation of the computational method is provided.
