Abstract: We propose the first software protection scheme obeying Kerckhoffs’s principle that is suited for practical implementation. Previous schemes have either been closed source or too inefficient to be considered practically viable. A key technique of our scheme is to partition the software in such a way that a hacker who knows a set of parts cannot learn additional ones. To achieve a partition with this property, our scheme exploits the domain knowledge that is necessary to create the software as well as the inherent complexity of the software’s code. If a software is sufficiently complex to admit such a partition then we can prove that there are no successful attack strategies on our scheme other than storing every line of code that has been executed.
