Native-application (Win32)
Use automatic protection utilities for protecting ready-to-use applications against the attempts to learn their operating logic. To ensure proper protection it is recommended to use the following options:
- Protection against viruses. This option is used to protect an application against illegal modification of the application file (incorporating program modules, alteration of copyright information, etc.).
- Encryption of the loadable part and internal overlays of the application. This option protects the application against attempts to use another method of code research – disassembling.
- Use the time-dependant dongles checks options. In this case even full dump of the application memory will be just a waste of time for a hacker.
- Use import and code extraction protection options. These options allow the autoprotection to extract a range of instructions from the body of the protected application and transfer it into the virtual machine’s body. This allows withstanding the automatic deactivation of hinged protections which significantly increases the difficulty and cost of attack.
Important information
If the use of /RIP_CODE and /IMPORT_HOOK options significantly slows down the work of the application, it is recommended to use /RIP_CODE_LIST and /IMPORT_HOOK_LIST options for optimizing the speed of the protected application.
In the event when the tie is done to Sign or Time dongle use ECC160 asymmetric algorithm operating option. Whereas, random data will be generated and signed by a digital signature on elliptic curves directly in the dongle in the course of operating the protected application. Later the signature will be verified by Guardant API function, protected by pseudo code, traffic encryption and other protection mechanisms.
