A method for preventing ransomware attacks on a computing system. By controlling the access to a calling interface through which cryptographic functions, such as the random number generator, can be accessed to generate strong encryption keys the method allows to efficiently terminate cryptographic ransomware attacks on the system before they can start doing any damage. If the access to the cryptographic functions, such as the random number generator, is not granted, the ransomware is unable to build a strong encryption key, and it is unable to deploy its intended effect.
A computer-implemented method for preventing ransomware attacks on a computing system, the computing system having access to computing resources including a source of randomness, which comprises random number or pseudo-random number generation means, and which are accessible through a calling interface means, the computer-implemented method comprising the following steps:
A system for preventing ransomware attacks on a computing system, the computing system having access to computing resources including a source of randomness, which comprises random number or pseudo-random number generation means, and which are accessible through a calling interface means, the system comprises a memory storing instructions when executed by a processor cause the processor to:
A non-transitory computer readable storage medium storing instructions that when executed by a computer, which includes a processor perform a method, the method comprising:
