Patent ID: 10268843

Abstract:
Based upon Turing incomputability, connectedness and properties of the active element machine (AEM), a malware-resistant computing machine is constructed. The active element computing machine is a non-Turing, non-register machine. AEM programs are designed so that the purpose of the AEM computations are difficult to apprehend by an adversary and hijack with malware. These methods can also be used to help thwart reverse engineering of proprietary algorithms, hardware design and other areas of intellectual property. Using quantum randomness, the AEM can deterministically execute a universal Turing machine (universal digital computer program) with active element firing patterns that are Turing incomputable. In an embodiment, a more powerful computational procedure is created than Turing's computational procedure (equivalent to a digital computer procedure). Current digital computer algorithms and procedures can be derived or designed with a Turing machine computational procedure. A novel computer is invented so that a program's execution is difficult to apprehend.
