ABSTRACT:
Tampering with pieces of software is inhibited. Installation setup protection inhibits tampering during the installation of various pieces of software. Profiles are stored in a central hierarchical database and such profiles are protected from tampering. The obfuscation of a software image so as to becloud the comprehension of hackers in reverse engineering pieces of software comprising the software image is provided.
