Abstract

Provided is a method of protecting an application from reverse engineering. The method includes registering, in an electronic device, a handler capable of being called as a preset fault is generated in the application, after the handler is registered, executing a protection code for generating the preset fault in the application, determining whether an environment where the application is executed is an abnormal environment, based on whether the handler has been called as the protection code is executed, and performing an operation for protecting the application, based on a result of the determination.
