Abstract

In overview, methods, computer programs products and devices for securing software are provided. In accordance with the disclosure, a method may comprise attaching a debugger process to a software process. During execution of the software process, operations relevant to the functionality of the code process are carried out within the debugger process. As a result, the debugger process cannot be replaced or subverted without impinging on the functionality of the software process. The software process can therefore be protected from inspection by modified or malicious debugging techniques.
