Abstract
A method of encryption and decryption for shared libraries in an open operating system is provided. By encrypting a partial portion of an executable and linkable format (ELF) file, where the ELF file is dependent on the shared libraries, an operating system lacking a secret key is not able to use the encrypted ELF file and thus not able to load the shared libraries into the memory for execution, thereby ensuring the protection of the shared libraries.
