PreEmptive Solutions Announces DashO Pro 3.0 for Java

Leading Provider of Java Obfuscation Tools adds New Features, Ease of Use, and Additional Debugging Support to help make code security part of the Enterprise Development Lifecycle

 

Cleveland, Ohio - February 4, 2004

PreEmptive Solutions, the leading provider of advanced obfuscation tools for Java applications, giving unprecedented protection, optimization and size reduction, today announced the release of DashO version 3.0. The newest version extends its current abilities and allows customers to produce the most secure and efficient Java applications.

DashO is designed to provide the greatest protection and to create the most compact and efficient Java-based applications, including strong code protection and size reduction with advanced features such as Control Flow Obfuscation, Pruning, String Encryption, Enhanced Overload Induction and Incremental Obfuscation.

"As a market leader of obfuscation and efficiency improving tools for Java and Microsoft .NET-based applications, we are committed to ongoing product innovation and development, as well as superior customer satisfaction," says Gabriel Torok, president of PreEmptive Solutions. "The latest version of DashO adds many important features requested by our customers."

Volvo IT supplies global industrial companies with IT systems and solutions. One application is VCADS Pro, a tool to program and diagnose vehicles from the Volvo family on the aftermarket. It has critical business logic and connects the vehicle with Volvo legacy systems. Volvo IT uses DashO for securing their code.

'We needed to protect our intellectual property and make sure no one has access to our code within these diagnostics," says Mats Hagberg, Method Area Manager for Volvo IT. "We chose PreEmptive Solutions for several reasons: the level of security PreEmptive's solutions provide, the low-maintenance and the ease of integration with our current software development lifecycle. PreEmptive Solutions was the best solution for us."

"It is becoming evident to many organizations that securing infrastructure that applications use is not enough to provide the level of trust and mitigation of risk businesses seek, particularly for the valued intellectual property their computer applications assets represent to them," states Earl Perkins, Vice President, META Group. "Innovative companies involved in application development are seeking and investing in ways to ensure 'code security' to protect such assets."

New features and benefits in DashO version 3.0 include:

  • String Encryption helps to hide facts about a program that are discoverable by searching for internal strings.

  • Control Flow Obfuscation provides a strong form of protection that creates very confusing code (to the human or decompiler) while still maintaining complete execution consistency and code verification.

  • XML Configuration File is used to augment the build process and make configuration file maintenance easier.

  • NEW GUI is designed to make DashO even easier to use.

  • More optimizations - DashO Pro V3 includes optimizations to help speed up Java code. Its redesigned optimizer architecture will allow for new optimizations to be integrated quickly!
