In a nutshell

What is Promon SDK Protection™?

Promon SDK Protection™ is a post-compile solution that shields SDKs from reverse engineering, tampering, and malicious threats. By embedding advanced obfuscation into native and Java binaries, it safeguards proprietary algorithms and data—even if the hosting app lacks protection. Critical functions like payment processing remain secure.

Beyond obfuscation, Promon SDK Protection™ offers runtime defenses to detect and block hooking, debugging, or root access. It keeps SDK producers secure without reworking existing workflows. With cross-platform support and minimal overhead, it delivers compliant, innovative solutions that meet regulatory demands.
  • Keeps your SDK’s proprietary logic hidden from prying eyes, safeguarding your competitive edge.
  • Automatically detects and counters threats like hooking, tampering, or malicious debugging, preventing unauthorized modifications in real time.
  • Adopts a simple, post-compile approach that fits into existing development workflows with minimal disruption, accelerating secure deployments.

What sets Promon SDK Protection™ apart?

Secure

Protect your intellectual property

Safeguard your proprietary code and sensitive data using SDK Protection’s binary code obfuscation capabilities. This blocks unauthorized access and prevent reverse engineering, keeping your innovations secure and exclusive. Additionally, securing your SDKs directly mitigates the risk associated with operating on untrusted devices and within vulnerable applications. This proactive approach allows you to detect and react to attacks, effectively making your SKDs more resilient.
Protect-IP SDK Protection
Develop

Streamline development workflows

SDK Protection’s post-compile integration simplifies your security implementation. It seamlessly blends into your development process without changes to your codebase or the need for additional training. This approach saves time and reduces maintenance costs compared to traditional security methods, ensuring your development team can focus on innovation rather than security management.
Streamline-dev SDK protection
Deliver

Consistent security across mobile platforms

Ensure uniform protection across Android and iOS SDKs. SDK Protection’s scalable framework effortlessly extends your security measures to emerging platforms and architectures, ensuring persistent, high-level protection for all devices and operating systems. This comprehensive coverage simplifies security management and supports your expansion into new markets.

Promon SDK Protection™ code obfuscation techniques

We protect SDKs against tampering and reverse engineering in deployed apps.

Section encryption

Prevent static analysis by encrypting both code and data sections within the executable. This extra layer of protection ensures that deciphering sensitive logic becomes significantly more challenging, reinforcing your IP’s resilience against reverse-engineering and tampering attempts.

Control flow abstraction

Divert call instructions within the code sections to a central dispatch function that hides the links between code blocks, making the application’s control flow and all external calls invisible to prying eyes.

Block splitting

Break binary symbols into smaller fragments and distribute them throughout the code. By scattering these pieces, attackers face an intricate puzzle that thwarts reverse-engineering attempts, making it significantly harder to understand or reconstruct your app’s logic.

Integrity checking

Enforce continuous monitoring of your code’s integrity with an integrated checksum network. Any unauthorized modification triggers unpredictable crashes, hampering attackers’ ability to study the altered binary and significantly reducing the chances of successful tampering.

Debug stripping

Remove all debug information from the binary to hinder attacker reconnaissance. Without these guides, reverse-engineering efforts are forced into guesswork, increasing complexity and decreasing the likelihood of successful code analysis.

Renaming (Java and Kotlin)

Renaming classes and their members to have meaningless names. It also flattens classes into a single package.
Code-Obfuscation

Promon SDK Protection™ runtime protection techniques

Defend SDKs in the wild with real-time protection against active threats

Hooking protection

SDK Protection detects the presence of code hooks and, based on your configurations, outright crashes the app and optionally calls an internal function for custom handling.

Root/Jailbreak protection

A rooted or jailbroken device is much more susceptible to malware. For both Android and iOS, SDK Protection detects if the device’s default restrictions are compromised and can be configured to act accordingly.

Debug protection

Attackers can run a debugger on an Android or iOS application to extract sensitive information and help them reverse engineer the app. SDK Protection detects the use of such debuggers and, based on your configurations, outright crashes the app and optionally calls an internal function for custom handling.
