Obfuscated integration of software protections
International Journal of Information Security, 2020To counter man-at-the-end attacks such as reverse engineering and tampering, software is often protected with techniques that require support modules to be linked into the application. It is well known, however, that attackers can exploit the modular nature of applications and their protections to speed up the identification and comprehension process ...

Software protection with increased complexity and obfuscation
Proceedings of the 50th Annual Southeast Regional Conference, 2012While many software solutions are provided through open source, the question of proprietary interest still remains. When outsourcing parts of a product's software development, there's a risk that the outsourcing partners will become competitors in the future.

Deobfuscation of virtualization-obfuscated software
Proceedings of the 18th ACM conference on Computer and communications security, 2011When new malware are discovered, it is important for researchers to analyze and understand them as quickly as possible. This task has been made more difficult in recent years as researchers have seen an increasing use of virtualization-obfuscated malware code.

Software Protection with Obfuscation and Encryption
2013Software code released to the user has the risk of reverse engineering attacks. Software obfuscation is one of the techniques used to make the reverse engineering of software programs hard. In this paper, we propose an obfuscation algorithm, which is applied to the assembly code generated by the compiler. Our method uses both obfuscation and encryption,

A New Code Obfuscation Scheme for Software Protection
2014 IEEE 8th International Symposium on Service Oriented System Engineering, 2014IT industry loses tens of billions of dollars annually from security attacks such as tampering and malicious reverse engineering. Code obfuscation techniques counter such attacks by transforming code into patterns that resist the attacks. None of the current code obfuscation techniques satisfy all the obfuscation effectiveness criteria such as ...

Applications of Homomorphic Functions to Software Obfuscation
2006As various computers are connected into a world wide network, software is a target of copyright pirates, attackers, or even terrorists, as a result, software protections become a more and more important issue for software users and developers. There are some technical measures for software protections, such as hardware-based protections and software ...

On the optimization of Software Obfuscation against Hardware Trojans in Microprocessors
2022 25th International Symposium on Design and Diagnostics of Electronic Circuits and Systems (DDECS), 2022The quest of low production cost and short time-tomarket, as well as the complexity of modern integrated circuits pushed towards a globalization of the supply chain of silicon devices. Such production paradigm raised a number of security threats among which Hardware Trojan Horses (HTHs), that became a serious issue not only for academy but also for ...

A Survey on Aims and Environments of Diversification and Obfuscation in Software Security
Proceedings of the 17th International Conference on Computer Systems and Technologies 2016, 2016Diversification and obfuscation methods are promising approaches used to secure software and prevent malware from functioning. Diversification makes each software instance unique so that malware attacks cannot rely on the knowledge of the program's execution environment and/or internal structure anymore. We present a systematic literature review on the
