Constant Protection

This protection encodes and compresses the constants (numbers, strings and initializers) in the code.

With the © Smart Native Protection System mode the constants are decrypted with the module verification sum, this system ensures the integrity of the applications.

This protection is available in the editions:

Community

Professional

Enterprise

Admits © Smart Native Protection System

This protection works differently for the community edition, the documentation is shown separately.

Parameters

Elements

Determine what type of constants will be encoded.

S Strings
N Numeric
P Primitives
I Matrix Initializers

They can all be combined or selected individually.

Console format

Console Parameters:

-elements Indicates what type of constants will be coded: S, N, P, I
-mode Select the mode to protect the constants:
Community

Modes

Community: This protection works differently for the community version, the documentation is shown separately.

Code example

var key = "https://www.dotnetsafer.com";
string password = "admin";
Console.WriteLine($"key: {key}, password: {password}");
Console.ReadKey();

string text = " ᶄᶩ ᶠᶠ ᶣᷬ ᶛᶣ ᶾᶠ ᶨᷭ ᷽ᷭ ";
<Module>.get_Condition(ref text, new object[] {
   'ૹ ',
   false,
   4819
});
string str = text;
string str2;
string text2 = "\ud983\ud987\ud990 "; 
<Module>.get_Condition(ref text2, new object[] {
      '곷 ',
      false,
      "╪ ŋ©^ˁ ɮ"
});
str2 = text2;

Console.WriteLine($" key: {str}, password: {str2} ");
Console.ReadKey();

Exclude from the interface

You can exclude this protection from the methods or classes you want.

Learn to do it from the interface. (Coming Soon)

A detailed article on exclusion will soon be available through the new (under development) interface of dotnetsafer.

Parameters

Elements

Determine what type of constants will be encoded.

S Strings
N Numeric
P Primitives
I Matrix Initializers

They can all be combined or selected individually.

Console format

Console Parameters:

-elements Indicates what type of constants will be coded: S, N, P, I
-mode Select the mode to protect the constants:
Normal
SNPS: © Smart Native Protection System

Modes

Normal

Protect the constants with the checksum of the method and its name.

Ensures the integrity of the code, after this protection you will not be able to modify the code or rename the methods.

Protect the constants with the verification sum of the method and its name using native functions that prevent the constants from being debited or decryption methods invoked.

Ensures the integrity of the code, after this protection you will not be able to modify the code or rename the methods.

It may be incompatible with xamarin.
