obfuscator

The fourth dimension of enterprise obfuscation is tamper notification

If you invest in fire prevention – don’t you also want fire detection? This begs the question “if an organization cares enough to invest time and resources into reverse engineering prevention, wouldn’t that same organization benefit from reverse engineering detection?”

Those who lose sight of the fact that the organizing principle behind obfuscation is the requirement to manage risk also undervalue the importance of the obfuscation process. The result is a one dimensional view of obfuscation as a finite set of technology limited to the transformation of application binaries. However, the emergence of Service Oriented Architecture (SOA) and Software as a Service (SaaS) combined with a growing recognition that the most effective IT controls must bridge the development lifecycle and operations management has made it possible, for the first time, to prevent reverse engineering and to detect tampering when it should occur.
