Polymorphic generators can be used in software, to make self-modifying code (to prevent unauthorized copying of executable code).
Are there any ways to implement this mechanism for preventing unauthorized copying of some data from hard disk or RAM? E.g. I have a license.txt and I don’t want anyone to get copy of this file from my storage. So when intruder copies this file, he’ll get a fully changed copy of this file.
Can someone suggest any literature related (papers/documents)? It would be very much appreciated.
Best regards,
You could search for Address Space Layout Randomisation - it does not prevent copying of RAM, but is useful to prevent e.g. buffer overflow attacks.
@Martin: Thank you so much.
@Peter: I appreciate your detailed reply and clarifying things more.
Thank you.
