Yiyun Chen · Journal of Jilin University · 2008
In order to promote the research on protection of intellectual property and mobile code,the development of code obfuscation technology is reviewed.Code obfuscation technology may be applied to protect program code,especially the core algorithm.The research background,the definition and application of code obfuscation are described.The main taxonomy of obfuscating transformations,which includes layout obfuscation,data obfuscation,control obfuscation and preventive obfuscation is described and each of the methods is analyzed and interpreted.And,the current status code obfuscation technology at home and abroad is deeply analyzed.Finally the,code obfuscation technology research direction is forecasted in order to provide reference for the future research.
