Abstract: A computer-implemented method of tamper-protecting computer program code. The method comprises: obtaining an input representation of the computer program code; identifying a conditional program statement for causing a data processing system to selectively execute one of at least a first and a second sets of program statements when said computer program is executed by a data processing system; replacing said identified conditional program statement and the first and second sets of program statements with a set of transformed program statements to obtain obfuscated program code, wherein the set of transformed program statements is adapted to cause the data processing system to execute at least a part of each of the transformed program statements when said computer program is executed by the data processing system.

- 08 Dec 2015
TL;DR: In this paper, a system for hiding a change to a set of variables of a program is provided, where a value representing means (902) represents a value w i of a variable v i of the variables v 1, v 2,..., v n, wherein w i is an element of a set W, by means of a representation r i wherein r i = E(W i, σ i ), and r i is a element of set of representations Ω( w i ) = {E(νν ί,s) |s �
