- I've written a DLL in C that supplies 'secure' information to registered
- programs. I have a relatively safe mechanism to ensure that the registered
- programs have not been tampered with (checksums, image headers etc) but how
- can I tell whose calling.
-
- Is there anyway that a DLL can identify something about the caller? Obviously
- it will have to be something implicit, caller supplied parameters would be
- open to abuse.
-
- Any clues would be gratefully received.
