Implementation to help antivirus vendors eliminate false positive detection of legitimate
software apps as malware
Baltimore
October 23, 2014
SafeNet, Inc., a global leader in software monetization, today announced that its Sentinel®
LDK (Licensing Development Kit) solution for software protection, licensing, and management, now
incorporates the IEEE Software Taggant System to overcome the issue of false positive detection of protected
("packed") applications as malware.

The Taggant System
Many software vendors utilize binary packers to obfuscate code and restore it before execution. However,
according to Michael Zunke, VP, CTO of Software Monetization at SafeNet, and founding member of the IEEE
Industry Connections Security Group (ICSG), which developed the Taggant System, "the problem that
'packers' present for antivirus companies is that malware writers use some of the same code-obfuscation
techniques as legitimate application developers, making it difficult for antivirus software to identify which
applications to flag as malware. This often leads to false-positives for legitimate applications." - See more at:

The Taggant System
The Taggant System, which may be used by the makers of commercial packing and obfuscation programs and
antivirus vendors, places a cryptographically secure marker in the packed and obfuscated files created by
commercial software distribution packaging programs (packers). Legitimate packers are often abused by
malware creators to create many, difficult-to-detect variants of their malware. The Taggant System markers
identify the specific packer user license key, used to create an instance of packed software. If the software is
identified as malware, the relevant packer user can then be blacklisted, and all files created by that packer
user will be reported as suspicious in the Taggant System. - See more at: http://www.safenet-
