SafeNet has announced the availability of its third-generation Sentinel Envelope technology, which helps software developers protect code integrity, deliver strong application security and, at the same time, reduce deployment delays and overhead costs.
Sentinel Envelope achieves this by providing software developers with superior application protection, including an automatic file packer (i.e., wrapper) that employs SafeNet’s advanced file encryption, code obfuscation, and anti-debugging technologies. The Sentinel Envelope also creates a robust shield that wraps executable files and dynamically linked libraries (DLLs) and binds applications to hardware- or software-based protection keys, enabling customers to more effectively enforce copy protection, protect trade secrets, professional know-how, and IP from reverse engineering, tampering, and piracy.
“Protecting hard-earned trade secrets and intellectual capital is critical for ISVs to remain competitive and relevant in the market. The third generation of LDK Envelope technology takes software protection to the next level. LDK Envelope makes it extremely difficult for hackers to reverse engineer protected intellectual property. By implementing strong application security, software vendors can confidently maintain their competitive advantage,” said Jake Fox, Vice- President, Product Management, Software Monetization, SafeNet.
The Sentinel Envelope has introduced new features both for its 32- and 64-bit engine, including import table gating, OEP (original entry point) obfuscation, constant runtime debugging protection, improved real-time anti-debugging and anti-tracing capabilities. These enhancements make Sentinel LDK’s Envelope technology as a good application security solution on the market today.
