ABSTRACT:
An application module is rewritten by overwriting executable code at identified authorization points with control transfers to a managed challenge system such that a rewritten application module results. The managed challenge system is constructed to include the overwritten executable code, and performs an authorization check upon acquiring control from an authorization point. The managed challenge system is linked to the rewritten application module.
