Protecting Applications with Petri Nets

Reverse Code Engineering of Software-Applications is often used by software pirates and crackers to extract code segments of compiled applications or to circumvent software protections. Preventing attacks like Bruteforce Attacks is a primal problem of software-protectionists. This paper illustrates the effectiveness of a concept using Petri nets to prevent software-piracy.

This paper describes cryptographic methods for concealing information during data compression processes. These include novel approaches of adding pseudo random shuffles into the processes of dictionary coding (Lampel-Ziv compression), arithmetic coding, and Huffman coding. An immediate application of using these methods to provide multimedia security is proposed. Download: pdf Cryptography in Data Compression
