The Java Virtual Machine is a very difficult environment to protect using code encryption. At Nitro-LM, we’ve been working on a product to solve the hangups and security holes in the JVM that until now had caused most developers to use obfuscation as their only protection. The Java Encryptor uses JNI (Win32/64, OSX, Linux supported) [...]

Every once in awhile, we talk to people who discover a cryptography library in their chosen language and think this is their magic answer to gain code “security”.  They’ll go about using block ciphers on important data without really understanding their purpose. Like any good business, we like to keep an eye on what our [...]

View the short screencast above gives an overview of what Library Keys are and how they are used and setup in Nitro-LM.

After the firestorm of web traffic we got from the previous post on How to Hack an AIR App SWF, I thought I’d pass this link on to our readers. David Wolever has done a bit of SWC file hacking to modify a private method to make it protected. Even though this hack is an [...]

We received an Invitation to present to this group on June 10, 2009. The event was recorded and also covered some material that was also presented at the 360|Flex [...]

The slides are attached (you’ll have to rotate them in Adobe Reader, for some reason, sliderocket didn’t print them out right-side up) along with the recording of the webex meeting.

Ok this is more than a bit unusual. According to the support documentation at Apple, the latest version of iWork ’09 does not come with any serial numbers when purchased in store. Hmmm… Why would Apple do this?

In designing the new interface for Nitro-LM Administrator, I’ve had the pleasure of designing the new Report Builder interface. In the current production version of this tool, we have a handful of reports that licensees and customers can use to see various aspects of usage data.

We never thought we would ever see this in a licensed commercial software product, but here it is…
