Ofuscamento de código para proteção de programas Java contra engenharia reversa

Abstract

This paper aims to present and define code obfuscation as means of protecting intellectual property present on Java programs, covering it's techniques and showing how each of them work. Furthermore, discussesit's advantages and disadvantages, defense level provided by each technique against a reverse engineering attack, existent solutions in the market, the consequences of applying obfuscation on a software project, and, finally, demonstrates the concept of Java programs obfuscation through an algorithm implemented using presented technologies.
