Abstract
This disclosure describes systems and methods for protecting commercial off-the-shelf software program code from piracy. A software program may include an executable file. The executable file may include code and data. A platform may modify the executable file such that the data may be placed at a location in memory not based on a fixed distance from the code. The platform may modify the executable file to indicate that the code should be loaded in a hardware enclave and at least a portion of the data should be loaded in the memory outside the hardware enclave. The platform may encrypt the code and provide it to a computing device.
