Hello everybody,
i'm looking for something to protect java applications. Hardware ( usb key ) or software ???
DO you know the best way to do it ?
Thank you.
What do you mean by protection ? protection from copying or executing the application by a wrong person ?
What i mean is code obfuscation, code encryption, ... Protection from copying, editing, ...
Thank you ;)
When you use jar files, in the code you create an object who manage the zip deflatting, perhaps like in linux with the loopback, there is a possibility to encrypt the stream so you you can separate the classes you want to protect in separate jar, and after managing the stream you can have a good result, and why not reading the key to decrypt the stream in an usb key or cdrom, but the problem is to guarantee the multi os aspect, so you should search the management of hotplug device too in java platform in order to respect the multi platform aspect.
Dear Aldrik, the problem is that it's for an enterprise level application - platform independant - database independant. Therefore we need something strong ... uncrackable ... and maybe as an eclipse plugin ? Thanx for all -- Laurent Renard
