Semantic-Based Code Obfuscation by Abstract Interpretation

open access: yesJournal of Computer Security, 2005
In recent years code obfuscation has attracted research interest as a promising technique for protecting secret properties of programs. The basic idea of code obfuscation is to transform programs in order to hide their sensitive information while preserving their functionality.

Code obfuscation techniques for metamorphic viruses

Journal in Computer Virology, 2008
This paper deals with metamorphic viruses. More precisely, it examines the use of advanced code obfuscation techniques with respect to metamorphic viruses. Our objective is to evaluate the difficulty of a reliable static detection of viruses that use such obfuscation techniques. Here we extend Spinellis’ result (IEEE Trans. Inform.

A taxonomy of self-modifying code for obfuscation

Computers and Security, 2011
Self-modifying code is frequently used as an additional layer of complexity when obfuscating code. Although it does not provide a provable level of obfuscation, it is generally assumed to make attacks more expensive. This paper attempts to quantify the cost of attacking self-modified code by defining a taxonomy for it and systematically categorising an

Control code obfuscation by abstract interpretation

open access: yesThird IEEE International Conference on Software Engineering and Formal Methods (SEFM'05), 2005
Control code obfuscation is intended to prevent malicious reverse engineering of software by masking the program control flow. These obfuscating transformations often rely on the existence of opaque predicates, that support the design of transformations that break up the program control flow. We prove that an algorithm for control obfuscation by opaque

Quantitative measures for code obfuscation security [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
In this thesis we establish a quantitative framework to measure and study the security of code obfuscation, an effective software protection method that defends software against malicious reverse engineering. Despite the recent positive result by Garg et al.[GGH+13] that shows the possibility of obfuscating using indistinguishability obfuscation ...

Hardware-assisted code obfuscation [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
Software obfuscation is a longstanding and open research challenge in computer security. While theoretical results indicate that provably secure obfuscation in general is impossible to achieve, many application areas (e.g. malware, commercial software, etc.) show that software obfuscation is indeed employed in practice.

Different Obfuscation Techniques for Code Protection

open access: yesProcedia Computer Science, 2015
With the advancements in digital technology, the threat of unimaginable level of duplicating and illegal reproducing of software also increases. Therefore the piracy rate is increasing proportionally.

Data Hiding Using Code Obfuscation

Proceedings of the 16th International Conference on Availability, Reliability and Security, 2021
Digital transformation of many companies and government administrations, now accelerated by the pandemic, provides cybercriminals an increased opportunity of incorporating various types of information hiding techniques into the malicious software and by that perform different types of attacks.
