Abstract(in English) This paper proposes a software protection mechanism in conjunction with a tamper-proof module. The proposed mechanism overcomes the limitation of software-based protection techniques where a program contains critical parameters in itself and is solely executable. We divide a program into two parts: an obfuscated program and secret parameters. An applet in the tamper-proof module securely stores the secret parameters and assists the execution of the obfuscation program. The obfuscated program is executed on a mobile phone or a computer, and it cannot be solely analyzed. Additionally, only users with a legitimate module can execute the program. We implemented the proposed mechanism on a mobile phone and user identify module. The experiment results provide criteria for leveraging our protection mechanism to protect both small-sized and large-sized programs.
