The "protect" which 4 is referring to is fundamentally like any other DRM: you're trying to give someone access to the content, but also deny it at the same time. In the case of an API, you've given someone an app which knows how to use it, which they can execute on their own computer and control the inputs of, and inspect the output. If you don't feel like RE'ing the API, you can always just supply the inputs to the app yourself from somewhere else. ("All problems in computer science can be solved by another level of indirection", as the saying goes.) |
