Abstract
A method and system for detecting software tampering includes: at a device having one or more processors and memory: receiving a software verification instruction from a server, the software verification instruction comprising a verification parameter dynamically selected by the server for verifying whether particular software stored at the device contains unauthorized modifications; executing a respective verification procedure corresponding to the verification parameter to obtain a first verification data value; and returning the first verification data value to the server, wherein the server compares the first verification data value to a second verification data value to determine whether the particular software stored at the device contains unauthorized modifications.
