Protecting Software Code Against Cyber Attack Through Novel Watermarking Approach

Abstract The speed at which cyberattacks are developing is unsettling. These days, ransomware assaults, malware, phishing, crypto-jacking, and data breaches are common. With more software being used in every aspect of life, the software industry is expanding in this age of cyberwarfare. This development has made it more difficult for consumers and software suppliers to stop a variety of attacks. The software detection rate of current watermark detection systems is low. This research suggests a revolutionary blind Zero code-based Watermark detection technique called KeySplitWatermark to overcome this problem and safeguard software from cyberattacks. Using the intrinsic characteristics of code, the algorithm logically incorporates a watermark and provides a reliable solution. Keywords are used by the embedding process to create code segments that are key-dependent on the watermark. This key is used by the extraction algorithms to eliminate watermarks and identify manipulation. The original program code is restored when tampering reaches a user-defined threshold, making it impervious to attacks. KeySplitWatermark produces up to 15.95 separate watermarks by evaluating tampering attacks on three different watermarks. The results demonstrate that the suggested strategy reports encouraging effects against potent and feasible cyberattacks. We used two distinct software programs to compare our proposal's performance with cutting-edge research.
