Class Encryption: What is Mobile Application Protection?

Essentially, classes make up the blueprint for an app. Classes are when functions like methods, strings, and assets are grouped together in a way that makes sense to the developer, because they need to be related to other relevant functions. Say you download an app. Now, you have access to all its classes, which could include a class containing “Premium Content.” An attacker could identify the class and steal premium content, assuming they can read that code. But if the class is encrypted, the attacker won’t know what any of the classes are.
