This isn't directly a C# question, so I apologize for being somewhat off
topic, but we have a project that is open source. When we release, the
actual release builds will be obfuscated using string encryption. This is
necessary because a non-open source component will include some encryption
code.
My question is, does anyone have any experience with obfuscators using
string encryption, and more importantly, because this is open source, people
will actually have access to the rest of the source code in the project. I
guess what I'm concerned about is, if you had on your left, the source code
and on your right, the obfuscated code, would it be fairly easy to match
them up in such a way that you'd be able easily determine which section is
the part that isn't open source?
And furthermore, how secure is the string encryption in these obfuscators?
Thanks.
