Abstract:
Maintaining core dump privacy during application fault handling. A core memory dump is received for an application from a runtime engine. Areas of the core memory dump are analyzed to identify structural data in the form of internal structures of the runtime engine. The identified structural data is retained in a modified core memory dump, and remaining non-structural data in the areas of the core memory dump is processed to ensure it is not readable by unauthorized entities in the modified core memory dump. The modified core memory dump is outputted for fault analysis.
