Abstract
Presented are software intellectual property (IP) protection systems and methods that prevent potential attackers as well as customers from having access to plain text versions of both library source code and binary code. Potential attackers are prevented from reusing the software on other platforms. The protection mechanism does not impact the functionality or the performance of the library itself and does not interfere with existing software update mechanisms or application developer tools, such as Joint Test Action Group (JTAG).
