Cognitive evaluation of intermediate level obfuscator
Dmitriy Dunaev, László Lengyel · 2014
Obfuscation is a technology that secures software from unauthorized analysis and modification by making the cost of reverse engineering prohibitively high. Whereas there exist standard measurements for source-code and machine-code obfuscators, there is no standard approach to evaluate the quality of platform-independent obfuscator. This paper aims at cognitive evaluation of intermediate level obfuscator in terms of potency, resilience and cost. The described techniques are universal, and can be used apart from the presented obfuscator tool.
