Secure your class files in JAVA


Hello Friends,
     As you seen in my previous post, there I had posted too many tools that re-engineer  your class files.

So today's java developer most worried question is how to secure class files to become reverse Engineering.

Don't Worry friends,
There are too many tools to protect your class files.

There are many methods to protect your class files.
  1. Obfuscator
  2. Manglers
  3. jar To Executer
Obfuscator:-

      The technique behind Obfuscator is they encode your class files with certain encryption algorithm and while execution your application they again decoded or decrypted.

So other than obfuscator know body knows which encryption algorithm is used for encoding so you are unable to decode the class files.

I have used many of them and believe me they are very good.

It applies the technique of mangling function, variable names, class 
names, interface name etc.
