Abstract:
A secure and fault-tolerant, or variation-tolerant, method and system to turn a set of N shares into an identifier even when only M shares from this set have a correct value. A secret sharing algorithm is used to generate a number of candidate identifiers from subsets of shares associated with asset parameters of a collection of assets. The most frequently occurring candidate identifier is then determined to be the final identifier. The method has particular applicability in the fields of node locking and fingerprinting.

Claim (Index 38):
A change-tolerant method of generating an identifier for a plurality of assets associated with a computing environment, each of the assets having an asset parameter associated therewith, the method comprising:\n retrieving asset parameters for the plurality of assets; generating a share corresponding to each asset parameter to produce a plurality of shares; applying a secret sharing algorithm to a plurality of subsets of shares to generate a plurality of candidate identifiers corresponding to the plurality of subsets of shares; and selecting a candidate identifier from the plurality of candidate identifiers as a final identifier for the plurality of assets based at least in part on a frequency of occurrence of that candidate identifier, wherein the final identifier is configured to provide verification of the plurality of assets without requiring individual verification of any shares in the plurality of shares.
