Protection of a data file to be used by a white-box cryptography software application installed in memory of a device to prevent the malevolent use of a digital copy of the data file by a white-box cryptography (WBC) software application installed in memory of another device. The mechanism includes extracting an unique identifier for the device from the environment of the device and modifying data in the data file according to the unique identifier, the available white-box cryptography software application includes a software security layer to retrieve the unique identifier from the environment of the device in which the software application is installed and to use this unique identifier in combination with the stored data file when executing, the result of the execution being correct only in case where the correct unique identifier has been extracted by the executed WBC software application.
