Abstract
Various embodiments are disclosed that relate to the automated identification of one or more computer program functions for potentially placing on a remote computing device in a split-computational computing environment. For example, one disclosed embodiment provides, on a computing device, a method of determining a factorable portion of code to locate remotely from other portions of the code of a program to hinder unauthorized use and/or distribution of the program. The method includes, on a computing device, receiving an input of a representation of the code of the program, performing analysis on the representation of the code, the analysis comprising one or more of static analysis and dynamic analysis, and based upon the analysis of the code, outputting a list of one or more functions determined from the analysis to be candidates for locating remotely.
