Protect SDKs from unauthorized use
Add friction to extraction, cloning, and unauthorized integration without blocking legitimate customers.
Outcomes
- Reduce SDK cloning
- Protect proprietary algorithms
- Maintain partner trust and licensing
Pain points
- SDK binaries are extracted and reused
- Reverse engineering exposes partner logic
- Unauthorized distribution bypasses licensing
ObfGuard approach
IP hardening
Hide algorithms and business logic that differentiate your SDK.
Policy scopes
Focus protection on SDK modules while keeping integration simple.
Runtime guardrails
Detect instrumentation attempts and tampering.
Implementation steps
1
Map SDK modules
Identify public APIs and sensitive logic in the SDK.
2
Define SDK policy
Create a focused policy for SDK modules and sensitive logic.
3
Verify output
Confirm hardened binaries and review protection reports.
4
Ship with confidence
Release protected SDKs without slowing customer integration.
KPIs to monitor
- Lower unauthorized use
- Fewer leak incidents
- Faster partner onboarding
FAQ
Can I protect SDKs without impacting app owners?
Yes. Policies can focus on SDK modules while leaving app-facing APIs stable.
Does this affect build determinism?
No. ObfGuard is designed for repeatable outputs with versioned policies.
