Obfuscation of App Shielding

The design of the native App Shielding libraries makes it difficult to analyze, as it uses several layers of obfuscation, employing multiple techniques. This is done primarily to make it harder to partially or completely remove or disable App Shielding.

Features such as binding, where parts of the application data are removed from the code, depend on App Shielding being hard to disassemble and analyze to obtain encryption keys or other information. The binding mechanism tries to force the attacker to break App Shielding (or the cryptography).
