Abstract

A system, method and program for protecting applications software from unauthorized access, reverse engineering or tampering, is disclosed. Protection of the application software may be accomplished by seeding the application software with sneak circuits based on performance indicators; running the application software in test mode to analyze performance indicators versus protection indicators of the application software; modifying seeding if the performance indicators and the protection indicators reach a predetermined tradeoff value; and inserting active protection code in the application software. Additional protection can be accomplished by executing a protected version of the application software in normal mode and collecting forensics data while executing the protected version.
