Hello, FD... A thought occurred to me: Why not use the same kind of polymorphism and software metamorphism that is used by malware writers as a protective measure? If you have a piece of code that you don't want malware to be able to inspect, that might perhaps have some "secrets" in it or that you want not to be trivial to have some other code patch, why not arrange for that code to be different in form (but the same in function) with every copy?
http://www.ics.uci.edu/~franz/ has DARPA money to do just that. Not convinced its a great idea myself. _______________________________________________ Full-Disclosure - We believe in it.
