Data obfuscation with network coding

Computer Communications, 2012
Network coding techniques such as fountain codes are a promising way to disseminate large bulks of data in a multicast manner over an unreliable medium. In this work we investigate how to conceal such an encoded data stream on its way to numerous receivers with a minimum investment.

A code obfuscation framework using code clones

Proceedings of the 22nd International Conference on Program Comprehension, 2014
IT industry loses tens of billions of dollars annually from security attacks such as malicious reverse engineering. To protect sensitive parts of software from such attacks, we designed a code obfuscation scheme based on nontrivial code clones. While implementing this scheme, we realized that currently there is no framework to assist implementation of ...

Obfuscation: Maze of code

2017 2nd International Conference on Communication Systems, Computing and IT Applications (CSCITA), 2017
Software Reverse Engineering scenario would involve software that has been worked upon for years and carries several modules of a business in its lines of code. Unfortunately the source code of the application has been lost, what remains is “native” or “binary” code. Traditional obfuscators work on binary code but they are tedious and do not provide us

Source Code Obfuscation for Smart Contracts

2020 27th Asia-Pacific Software Engineering Conference (APSEC), 2020
State-of-the-art work of evaluating smart contract static analysis tools faces a major problem: most test cases (i.e., labeled buggy contracts) are too simple and lack complexity, which makes the evaluation unable to show the real performance of the analysis tools when complex contracts are analyzed.

A family of experiments to assess the effectiveness and efficiency of source code obfuscation techniques [PDF]

Empirical Software Engineering, 2013
Context: code obfuscation is intended to obstruct code understanding and, eventually, to delay malicious code changes and ultimately render it uneconomical.

Protecting Java code via code obfuscation

XRDS: Crossroads, The ACM Magazine for Students, 1998
The Java language is compiled into a platform independent bytecode format. Much of the information contained in the original source code remains in the bytecode, thus decompilation is easy. We will examine how code obfuscation can help protect Java bytecodes.

A detection framework for semantic code clones and obfuscated code

Expert Systems with Applications, 2018
Abstract Code obfuscation is a staple tool in malware creation where code fragments are altered substantially to make them appear different from the original, while keeping the semantics unaffected. A majority of the obfuscated code detection methods use program structure as a signature for detection of unknown codes.

Efficient Code Obfuscation for Android

2013
Recent years have witnessed a steady shift in technology from desktop computers to mobile devices. In the global picture of available mobile platforms, Android stands out as a dominant participant on the market and its popularity continues rising. While beneficial for its users, this growth simultaneously creates a prolific environment for exploitation

A novel algorithm for obfuscated code analysis

2011 IEEE International Workshop on Information Forensics and Security, 2011
Obfuscated code is machine or source code that is made difficult to be read by humans. It is usually done to hide some important business logic or to hide malicious intent. There has been a dramatic increase in the use of obfuscated codes for drive-by-download web browser attacks using javascripts.

Code obfuscation based on deep integration

The Computer Journal
Abstract Code obfuscation is essential for software security. However, current obfuscation techniques demonstrate limited resilience against systematic reverse engineering attacks—including taint analysis and code similarity detection.
