Abstract

The paper outlines to the problem of correlation between security and scalability of software protection against tampering based on the remote entrusting principles. The goal of the paper is to propose a technique allowing choosing the most effective combination of different protection methods to apply. The technique is aimed at finding a trade-off between performance of the protection mechanism and its security, ensuring both a necessary security level and an appropriate scalability. The technique encompasses the evaluation of particular protection methods belonging to the whole protection mechanism and getting quantitative metrics of their performance and security level.
