Abstract :
Software watermarks, which can be used to identify the intellectual property owner of a piece software, are broadly divided into two categories: static and dynamic. Static watermarks are embedded in the code and/or data of a computer program, whereas dynamic watermarking techniques store a watermark in a program´s execution state. In this paper, we present a survey of the known static software watermarking techniques, including a brief explanation of each.
