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. Although code understanding cannot be completely impeded, code obfuscation makes it more laborious and troublesome, so as to discourage or retard code tampering.
