Abstract

The effectiveness of software-based methods for software protection from piracy, tampering and reverse engineering by Sandmark tool is discussed. The Sandmark framework is designed for implementation and evaluation of software-based techniques such as software watermarking and code obfuscation. The control flow analysis is used in several Sandmark algorithms in which it is more natural to modify control-flow graph method than its instruction list representation. The aim of Sandmark watermarking module is to develop techniques which determine embedding and recognition algorithms having smallest performance overhead and highest resilence attacks.
