A Framework to Quantify the Quality of Source Code Obfuscation
Applied SciencesMalicious reverse engineering of software has served as a valuable technique for attackers to infringe upon and steal intellectual property. We can employ obfuscation techniques to protect against such attackers as useful tools to safeguard software ...

Assessment of Source Code Obfuscation Techniques [PDF]
2016 IEEE 16th International Working Conference on Source Code Analysis and Manipulation (SCAM), 2016 Obfuscation techniques are a general category of software protections widely adopted to prevent malicious tampering of the code by making applications more difficult to understand and thus harder to modify. Obfuscation techniques are divided in code and data obfuscation, depending on the protected asset.

Proceedings of the Eighth ACM Conference on Data and Application Security and Privacy, 2018 Early developments in code obfuscation were chiefly motivated by the needs of Digital Rights Management (DRM). Other suggested applications included intellectual property protection of software and code diversification to combat the monoculture problem of operating systems. Code obfuscation is typically employed in security scenarios where an adversary

Metrics for code obfuscation based on symbolic execution and N-scope complexity
网络与信息安全学报, 2022 Code obfuscation has been well developed as mitigated endogenous security technology, to effectively resist MATE attacks (e.g.reverse engineering).And it also has important value for the reasonable metrics of code obfuscation effect.Since symbolic ...

The effectiveness of source code obfuscation: An experimental assessment [PDF]
2009 IEEE 17th International Conference on Program Comprehension, 2009 Source code obfuscation is a protection mechanism widely used to limit the possibility of malicious reverse engineering or attack activities on a software system. Although several code obfuscation techniques and tools are available, little knowledge is available about the capability of obfuscation to reduce attackers' efficiency, and the contexts in ...

Towards experimental evaluation of code obfuscation techniques [PDF]
Proceedings of the 4th ACM workshop on Quality of protection, 2008 While many obfuscation schemes proposed, none of them satisfy any strong definition of obfuscation. Furthermore secure general-purpose obfuscation algorithms have been proven to be impossible. Nevertheless, obfuscation schemes which in practice slow down malicious reverse-engineering by obstructing code comprehension for even short periods of time are ...
