Abstract
Techniques described and suggested herein include the use of transformation parameters, such as mathematical and/or cryptographic operations, to permute various aspects of executables so as to control executable code authorized to run on one or more hosts. For example, a set of transformation parameters, such as a mathematical operation and a specified value upon which the mathematical operation may operate, are associated with a host or group of hosts. The set of transformation parameters may be applied to one or more runtime-related numerical locations associated with an executable that is intended to run on the specified hosts. At runtime, appropriately encoded executables are decoded by the specified hosts and operate normally, while differently encoded or unencoded executables are inoperable by the specified hosts.
