Cloakware White-box Cryptography
In traditional cryptography, a black-box attack describes the situation where the attacker tries to obtain the cryptographic key by knowing the algorithm and monitoring the inputs and outputs, but without the execution being visible. White-box cryptography addresses the much more severe threat model where the attacker can observe everything, can access all aspects of the target system/application, and may have the black-box knowledge of the crypto algorithm.

Additional Product Information
Popular trusted ciphers like RSA and AES were not designed to operate in environments where their execution could be observed. In fact, the standard cryptographic model is that communications endpoints and computing platforms are assumed to be trusted. If the target device resides in a hostile environment, then the cryptographic keys may be directly visible to an attacker. An attacker may be able to monitor the application and extract one or more cryptographic keys embedded or generated by the application.
