Abstract

Because of easy access to Android internal files, unlicensed Android Apps are widely being distributed. To protect the intellectual property of Android developers, various techniques are being proposed that can prevent illegal access to Apps. This paper combines two of the proposed techniques, namely the Online Execution Class and Encryption-based Copyright Protection with a smooth scaling between the two techniques. We will show that this scaling provides better protection than any one of the techniques can provide by itself.
