Abstract
Reverse engineering is a prominent design strategy in industry, employed by many to uncover the enabling technologies of innovative products. Unfortunately, there is little motivation for original designers to create new products if competitors can reverse engineer these products and reproduce them at a lower development cost. One solution to this problem involves the incorporation of barriers to reverse engineering into products during the design process. These barriers not only increase the cost of reverse engineering but can also improve product performance with only a small increase in manufacturing or development time.
