- This work describes the ASPIRE toolchain of software protections, developed in the ASPIRE-FP7 European project. Its novel code renewability framework allows dynamic updates of native Android apps to contrast reverse-engineering attacks. The open-source toolchain [1] made many companies independent from the expensive licenses of existing providers. Notably, NAGRA-Kudelski uses it to renew the white-box crypto library of their video-player, deployed on millions of Android devices, while the toolchain has been integrated into The Kudelski Obfuscation Product used for protecting 3rd party Digital TV and IOT products, generating millions of revenues [2].
