SmartAssembly allows you to obfuscate your code in many ways.

For maximum protection, you should enable as many of the different types of obfuscation as possible.

SmartAssembly offers the following types of obfuscation:

• Strong name signing
  Provides some protection against modification for your application.
• Dependencies merging
  Embeds dependencies, for example DLLs, inside your assembly so that the dependencies are obfuscated in the same way as the main assembly.
• Dependencies embedding
  Packs dependencies inside your assembly and unpacks them at runtime. You can compress and encrypt the dependencies.
  Use this when you cannot merge a dependency.
• Pruning unused code
  Removes code that can never be run and some metadata.
• Name mangling
  Changes the names of your classes and methods to unreadable characters.
• Control flow obfuscation
  Changes the code inside your methods into 'spaghetti code', which is hard for a human to follow.
• References dynamic proxy
  Creates a proxy to hide the eventual destination of external calls from your application.
• Resources compression and encryption
  Makes your code harder to understand by encrypting resources.
• Strings encoding
  Encodes strings, making it hard to understand your code by following the references to a known string.
•  MSIL Disassembler protection
  Prevents ildasm.exe from opening your assembly.
