Quarks App Protect
Source code obfuscation software
Source code and data are today’s crucial assets of an application. A layered security approach is the right way for preserving their integrity and confidentiality against attackers.

Software running on untrusted environments is at risk of reverse-engineering: an application running on a device which is available to an attacker is vulnerable to a wide range of techniques used to try and extract secrets, intellectual property.
To prevent unauthorised parties from gaining insight, tamper with or even recover the source code from the binary, software protection mechanisms must be implemented to preserve revenues and intellectual property.
Comprehensive software protection for firmware and applications
Code & Data obfuscation
Protection against static analysis
- 30+ obfuscation schemes available
- Granular control of the protection profile thanks to a file-based policy or comments throughout the code
- Build diversification: each compiled application is different with a user-controlled randomness seed
+
Device Trust Assessment
Protection against dynamic analysis
- Dynamic checks: detection of rooted or jailbroken devices
- Integrity checks and detection of debuggers, emulators and hooking frameworks
- Triggering of specific actions on the detection of anomalies
Best-in-class Software Protection
Choose among a large catalog of more than 30 obfuscation passes to protect your application, as well as device trust assesment features. By layering these protection mechanisms throughout software, your intellectual property will stay hidden from prying eyes.
Outstanding performance/security ratio
Protection mechanisms can be applied either all at once or on selected software parts, allowing application developers to fine-tune their security profile depending on their software specific logic, in order to achieve the ideal approach towards allying performance and security.
