Abstract :
Watermarking is the process of hiding information in a media and usually used to for copyright protection. In software watermarking, the information is added to the source code of program and can be extracted from compiled executable code. In this paper, a new software watermarking algorithm is proposed by equation reordering. In this method, the order of operands in an equation is changed according to the information we want to hide in a way that the result of the equation is unchanged. One of the main advantages of this method is that no code added to the program, so the size and speed of the program not changed.
