On the Possibility of Malicious Obfuscation [PDF]

open access: yesIACR Communications in Cryptology
We study a new variant of malicious obfuscation, where untrusted third-party obfuscation tools/platforms covertly insert master backdoor in software programs. We show that such malicious obfuscation could be hard to identify by the software developer who knows the original unobfuscated program.
