Abstract: In overview, methods, computer programs products and devices for securing software are provided. In accordance with the disclosure, a method may comprise attaching a debugger process to a software process. During execution of the software process, operations relevant to the functionality of the code process are carried out within the debugger process. As a result, the debugger process cannot be replaced or subverted without impinging on the functionality of the software process. The software process can therefore be protected from inspection by modified or malicious debugging techniques.

Abstract: The disclosed method is concerned with a computer implemented method generating code for protecting sensitive data used by the program, by partitioning the program into a plurality of blocks of code, such that each code block in the program is registered using a code index in a code register created for the program. The code index for a given code block reflects current properties including the current location of the code block, at any given time. During execution of the program at runtime by the computing device, each code block of the program is moved from a first code location in a memory to a respective second code location in the memory, such that the code block is accessible from the second code location in the memory henceforth. The code index for the moved code block is updated to indicate updated current properties, such as the new location of the code block, i.e. the second code location, after moving the code block.
