Impact of software watermarking on smart devices
Joonhyouk Jang, Bongjae Kim, Yookun Cho · 2013
As a binary protection technique, software watermarks can be used to protect the copyrights of applications. However, most watermarking techniques do not consider the resource limitations or the interactivity of smart applications. In this paper, we apply an efficient software watermarking scheme to an actual Android-based smart device and analyze the impact of software watermarks. Experimental results show that watermarked applications perform efficiently in terms of the embedding time and the execution overhead.
