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.

Obfuscation undercover: Unraveling the impact of obfuscation layering on structural code patterns

Journal of Information Security and Applications
Malware often uses code obfuscation to evade detection, employing techniques such as packing, virtualization, and data encoding or encryption. Despite widespread application, the impact of combining these techniques in a particular order – so-called obfuscation layering – on code analysis remains poorly understood. This study advances previous research

Code Obfuscation [PDF]

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
