CI/CD stands for continuous integration (CI) and continuous delivery/ continuous deployment (CD). CI/CD automates the process of integrating code changes and deploying them to production environments, ensuring frequent, reliable updates with minimal manual intervention. Continuous delivery takes this further by automating the process of preparing code for release, ensuring it's always in a deployable state. Continuous deployment, an advanced step, automates the release of code to production immediately after passing all tests, without human approval.

White-box cryptography is a software-based technology that merges encryption and code obfuscation to embed secret keys within application code. It aims to make the code and keys indistinguishable to an attacker, allowing the new white-box program to run safely in an insecure environment. White-box cryptography helps organizations encrypt critical portions of programs and store the keys for decryption in a tamper-proof manner.

Keylogging, short for "keystroke logging," is a method of covertly capturing and recording keystrokes made on a computer or other input device, like a keyboard. This technique is commonly employed by malicious software, known as keyloggers, to track and monitor user activity without their knowledge or consent. Keylogging can capture sensitive information and other personal data, posing significant security risks to individuals and organizations. While some keyloggers operate locally on a single device, others can transmit logged data remotely to a third party for exploitation or analysis.

Root detection refers to a security measure implemented in Android mobile apps to detect if a device has been rooted, that is, gained superuser access. Rooted devices bypass manufacturer-imposed security restrictions, which can make them vulnerable to malware or unauthorized access.
