Shiva describes itself thus:

Shiva is a tool that allows encryption of ELF executables under  
Linux. Shiva can be used to wrap an executable in such a way that  
though it continues to run as it did before it is very difficult to  
debug and reverse engineer. Shiva can be used to password protect  
critical programs, including setuid programs, or simply to obfuscate  
sensitive data stored within programs.

I googled it :)
