TL;DR: In this paper, a computer-implemented method of tamper-protecting computer program code is presented, which includes: obtaining an input representation of the 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 the identified conditional program statements with a set of transformed program statements to obtain obfuscated program code.

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.

Motohiro Kawahito
- 26 Feb 2016
TL;DR: In this paper, a method for optimizing if statements in a program includes obtaining, by a processing device, a set of conditional expressions having an inclusion relation; computing, for each of the set, a position with low execution frequency in the program as a move destination of a conditional expression, using information of the subset in which the conditional expression is included.
