Abstract
The present disclosure is directed to systems and methods for protecting software application information that is passed between a caller of an API and the logic contained within the API by using a Secure Calling Convention (SCC). The SCC involves performing a cryptographic operation on the information such that the true nature of the information is obfuscated. The SCC prevents a hacker from using the information to reverse-engineer the software application to behave as desired.
