Application Protection, Code Hardening and Anti-Tamper

Fusion

Fusion is an automated application protection solution that helps prevent reverse engineering, tampering, unauthorized modification, and piracy. It can be deployed as a standalone protection tool for desktop applications or combined with iLok Licensing to give end-to-end software IP protection.

Fusion
Strong Protection 

When tampered with by an attacker, a Fusion-protected application will fail gracefully at run-time and not offer any clues as to why the protected code fails to operate.

The Process

How Does It Work?

A Fusion-protected binary is injected at build time with thousands of interwoven "check" code instances. These checks validate at runtime that your code has not been modified.

Fusion application protection uses analysis profile data to exclude the most frequently called functions. Additionally, you can easily nominate performance-sensitive areas of code for exclusion of check injection. You have complete control. By using Fusion, you get nearly automatic blending of our protection DNA with your binary.

Provides high security by blending your binary with our protection technology at build time
Results in a unique per-product fusing so that every protected binary is thoroughly and uniquely protected
Features an automated system that you "train" by running special builds
Properly configured Fusion-protected binaries are extremely tedious to attack.

Fusion Application Protection Advantages

Built to make attacks tedious and time-consuming

Unique Protection for Every Product

The "fusing" of technologies means each product's code check network is unique and diverse. Contrast this to wrapper-type security, where hackers can invest in building a common set of tools and repeatedly use those tools to broadly attack wrapped binaries.

High-Density Protection

Fusion's intelligent automation produces a protected application with up to 10X the check code network density of manual application protection solutions, making attacks significantly more tedious and time-consuming.

Consistent Security Results

Fusion's automation delivers consistent security results across development teams. Unlike manual protection approaches, Fusion helps ensure applications are both highly secure and performant without relying on individual implementation expertise.

Integrate
Stronger Together

Fusion and iLok Licensing

Fusion protects your software from tampering, reverse engineering, and unauthorized modification. When combined with iLok Licensing, it also enables trusted license enforcement backed by the industry's leading software licensing platform.

iLok Licensing manages how authorized users access your software through flexible licensing models, activation options, and secure entitlement management. Combined together with Fusion, they provide a comprehensive approach to software protection that helps safeguard both your intellectual property and your revenue.

Many software publishers use Fusion and iLok Licensing together to create a stronger defense against piracy and unauthorized use. Licensing checks can be protected within the application itself, making them significantly more resistant to bypass attempts while maintaining a seamless experience for legitimate customers.

Whether you need software protection, secure licensing, or both, PACE provides solutions that work together to meet your security and business requirements.
