Description: Zend Guard is a Hypertext Preprocessor (PHP) encoding and obfuscation technology that enables the protection and mass distribution of commercial PHP applications. Encoding is a process where the PHP source code is converted to an intermediate machine readable format. This format is hard for humans to read and convert back to source code. Obfuscation is a process where the code is intentionally made very hard to read as source code or as reverse engineered code. This obfuscation is designed to manage risks that stem from unauthorized access to source code. This technology also includes licensing capabilities which allow Independent Software Vendors (ISVs) to create a variety of licensing policies for their commercial PHP applications.

This technology does not utilize a database.
