I'm developing a commercial project on an ARM based embedded board with a custom Linux kernel on it, using Ruby. Target workspace of the project and the device is a closed-environment, no ethernet, inernet, I/O devices etc... I want to protect my code/program so that; it'll only work on the specific machines I let (so; people cant just copy and paste my code/program on to their embedded boards and run it w/o permission).

I have some Matlab code and a GUI for it and I want to make a standalone app to Protect my Source Code. How can I build this standalone? Thank you for any guide. ================================================================================ I found in help: If you do not want to distribute your proprietary application code in this format, you can use one of these more secure options instead: • Deploy as P-code — Convert some or all of your source code files to a content-obscured form called a P-code file (from its .p file extension), and distribute your application code in this format. •

I want to make a JavaScript application that's not open source, and thus I wish to learn how to can obfuscate my JS code? Is this possible? keparo Obfuscation: Try YUI Compressor . It's a very popular tool, built, enhanced and maintained by the Yahoo UI team. You may also use: Google Closure Compiler UglifyJS Private String Data: Keeping string values private is a different concern, and obfuscation won't really be of much benefit. Of course, by packaging up your source into a garbled, minified mess, you have a light version of security through obscurity . Most of the time, it's your user who
