Dear all,
Our new book "Surreptitious Software: Obfuscation, Watermarking,
and Tamperproofing for Software Protection" was just released.
It is published in Addison-Wesley's Software Security Series
edited by Gary McGraw:

The book covers, among other things, these topics:
=A0=A0=A0 * Understanding the theoretical limits of code obfuscation
=A0=A0=A0 * Detecting software tampering in distributed system
=A0=A0=A0 * Mastering techniques that both attackers and defenders use to
=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0 analyze programs
=A0=A0=A0 * Using code obfuscation to make software harder to analyze and
=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0 understand
=A0=A0=A0 * Fingerprinting software to identify its author and to trace
=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0 software pirates
=A0=A0=A0 * Tamperproofing software using guards that detect and respond to
=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0 illegal modifications of code and data
=A0=A0=A0 * Strengthening content protection through dynamic watermarking
=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0 and dynamic obfuscation
=A0=A0=A0 * Detecting code theft via software similarity analysis and
=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0 birthmarking algorithms
=A0=A0=A0 * Using hardware techniques to defend software and media against
=A0=A0=A0=A0=A0 piracy and tampering
