System and method for watermarking software
Abstract:
Systems, methods, and storage media implemented by a computer for enabling tracking of software are disclosed. Exemplary implementations may: receive marking input code corresponding to a computer program; identify locations of the marking input code that can be modified in ways that preserve functionality of the computer program; choose at least one code transformation with associated intrinsic constants; derive derived constants from the specific intrinsic constants; apply the at least one chosen code transformation, including injecting the derived constants into the marking input code; saving the results of the above steps on computer readable media as marked code; and save metadata including a list of the derived constants on computer readable media in a file that is separate from the marked code.
