A Software Engineering Methodology for Developing Secure Obfuscated Software
2019We propose a methodology to conciliate two apparently contradictory processes in the development of secure obfuscated software and good software engineered software. Our methodology consists first in the system designers defining the type of security level required for the software.

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

Obfuscating Software Puzzle for Denial-of-Service Attack Mitigation
2016 IEEE International Conference on Internet of Things (iThings) and IEEE Green Computing and Communications (GreenCom) and IEEE Cyber, Physical and Social Computing (CPSCom) and IEEE Smart Data (SmartData), 2016The software puzzle scheme counters resource-inflated Denial-of-Service (DoS) attacks by requiring each client connecting to the server to correctly solve a cryptographic puzzle before a connection can be established. It is specifically designed to thwart attempts at utilizing high-performance Graphic Processing Units (GPUs) to cut down solution time ...

Design and implementation of instruction indirection for embedded software obfuscation
Microprocessors and Microsystems, 2016Tamper-aware use of the Instruction Register File (IRF) is presented.Two heuristic algorithms are presented to find sub-optimal IRF assignments against tampering.For a small IRF, our precision-oriented algorithm obtained the optimal assignments in most cases.Our time-oriented algorithm completed the calculation in 16 milliseconds for a 1024-entry IRF ...

Protecting Software through Obfuscation
ACM Computing Surveys, 2016Software obfuscation has always been a controversially discussed research area. While theoretical results indicate that provably secure obfuscation in general is impossible, its widespread application in malware and commercial software shows that it is nevertheless popular in practice.

A Generalized Obfuscation Method to Protect Software of Mobile Apps
2019 15th International Conference on Mobile Ad-Hoc and Sensor Networks (MSN), 2019As the world is becoming more mobile, mobile applications (or apps) are an integral part of our everyday personal and professional lives. Despite their unprecedented utility, these apps can pose serious security risks since a lot of critical or sensitive information is contained in the distributed software.

A Software Fingerprinting Scheme for Java Using Classfiles Obfuscation
2004Embedding a personal identifier as a watermark to Java classfile is effective in order to protect copyrights of them. Monden et al. [1] proposed watermarking scheme that embeds arbitrary character sequence to the target method in a Java classfiles. But the scheme can be only used to embed the same watermark to each user’s classfiles.
