Bethesda, MD — Sept. 8, 2010 — Arxan Technologies®, a leading provider of software security solutions that protect applications from attack in distributed or un-trusted environments, today announced the availability of EnsureIT™ for Android, a robust software protection product that secures mobile Android™ applications against reverse-engineering or tampering for unauthorized access, piracy and insertion of exploits. Given the popularity of the Android platform (more than 100,000 applications now available for popular mobile devices) the open-source nature and the rapid global adoption of Android applications, EnsureIT for Android addresses the tremendous need to protect digital content and intellectual property (IP). Whether on Google’s Android Market or other Android download websites, the spotlight on Android security for applications has intensified. Recent media reports, for instance, have cautioned against seemingly legitimate Android applications that when downloaded, have resulted in the theft of private user information. Google recently recommended that Android developers secure their applications as they interface with the Android Market licensing server.
Tim Bray, Google’s Android developer evangelist, advises developers to obfuscate code in order to raise the bar against hackers and pirates. “The attacks we’ve seen so far are also all on applications that have neglected to obfuscate their code, a practice that we strongly recommend,” Bray said. Bray suggests that “obfuscating” the licensing server’s sample authentication code makes it difficult for hackers to find the parts of the code required for bypassing the authentication process.

EnsureIT for Android features automated defend, detect and react capabilities by deploying various security techniques (called Guards) such as obfuscation, checksum, repair and anti-debug directly into the software code of each application for defense-in-depth. This layered protection of diverse Guard types provides control, trust and tamper-resistance for the application. “The open-source software marketplace for Android application development underscores a vital need to build in IP protection, anti-piracy and anti-tampering measures into Android applications in order to safeguard the distribution and integrity of new revenue streams,” said Kevin Morgan, chief technology officer of Arxan. “EnsureIT for Android builds upon Arxan’s award-winning application hardening technology to authenticate, obfuscate and protect the integrity of code using a variety of proven security techniques for mobile and embedded applications.” Specifically, EnsureIT for Android provides application hardening for Android applications that run in the Dalvik virtual machine and call into native code via the Android Native Development Kit (NDK). The NDK is used to implement native code languages such as C and C in a manner that can increase efficiency and speed by reusing existing code. Key Features of EnsureIT for Android include: Tunable security for mobile platforms and their application offerings Layered network of protections, with no single point of failure Self-heal in the event of an attack by restoring protections Requires no changes to source code Support for a broad range of emulators and devices Support for the entire Google development platform and other Android platforms Support for the ARM processor To provide greater insight on Android security challenges, Morgan will host the webinar, “Android & Security: Can They Get Along?” on Sept. 8 at 11:30 a.m.

Bethesda, MD — Jan. 12, 2011 — Arxan Technologies', a leading provider of software security solutions that protect applications from attack in distributed or un-trusted environments, today announced the availability of EnsureIT™ for Apple iOS, the newest addition to its multi-platform suite of application hardening solutions, to harden Apple' iOS for ARM mobile applications against reverse-engineering or tampering for unauthorized access, piracy and compromise. IOS, Apple's mobile operating system was developed originally for the iPhone', and has since been used on the iPod touch', iPad' and Apple TV', as well. Given the popularity of these Apple computing platforms and application downloads for Apple devices now numbering in the billions, content developers consider Apple iOS support a must for their mobile and connected home applications development. 20, 2010, Apple's App Store contained more than 300,000 iOS applications which have collectively been downloaded more than 7 billion times.

This rapid adoption has not gone unnoticed by hackers who are being drawn to Apple iOS-enabled mobile devices in an effort to pirate, steal intellectual property (IP) and jeopardize business models. Readily available toolkits can be used today by hackers to compromise the integrity of Apple iOS code through reverse engineering, disassembly and debugging, and jailbroken iPhones further increase the risk of app tampering, piracy and malware insertion. Software protection is needed to maintain the integrity of the application, and the protection of business models, IP and digital rights management (DRM) robustness rules against “Man-at-the End” attacks on the binaries.
According to Paul Roberts of Threatpost.com, “we think there are a lot of reasons to expect that the security of mobile devices will be big news in 2011. However, as we’ve reported, security often takes the back seat in the go-go world of mobile application development. SMS Trojans may be the dominant form of mobile malware, but there’s ample reason to believe that attacks focused on mobile Web applications will surge ahead of device-specific attacks in 2011.” EnsureIT for Apple iOS provides automated defend, detect and react capabilities by deploying various security techniques (called Guards) such as obfuscation, checksum and anti-debug directly into the software code of each app to harden binaries against discovery and compromise.
Like the rest of Arxan’s proven code hardening products, EnsureIT for Apple iOS is architected for durability and resilience with a tunable layered network of diverse Guards that offer control, trust and tamper-resistance for the app. This newest expansion to the Arxan product line also provides code security without changing the source code and without disrupting app functioning. “Apple iOS continues to power application development for the smartphone and mobile device markets, delivering rich applications for both the consumer market and the enterprise,” said Kevin Morgan, chief technology officer of Arxan. “Customers are demanding protection for their apps across multiple mobile, embedded and desktop environments, and we are pleased to expand our solutions to cover the popular Apple iOS app market with durable and low-impact security against piracy and compromise.” EnsureIT for Apple iOS builds upon Arxan’s patented, proven and award-winning application hardening technology to secure distributed code in mobile apps.
