  • Publication number: 20240111845
    Abstract: Provided is a program and computer-implemented method of obfuscating a software code, comprising adding a conditional branch instruction to the software code which, when executed, causes evaluating an opaque predicate (PT, PF, P?). The method comprises a step of generating the opaque predicate which includes performing a multiplication operation having as operands two mixed Boolean-arithmetic expressions. Other embodiments disclosed.

  • Publication number: 20220156365
    Abstract: Provided is a method of securing a software code of an application including at least one constant data. The method produces secure software code can then be executed on a processor. The method includes fragmenting current constant data into several valid data chunks of random length, encoding and storing the valid data chunks at random locations in the application software code, identifying all occurrences of the current constant data in the application software code and replacing each of them with a call to a Runtime application self-protection (RASP) agent for reading the current constant data, and inserting, at random locations of a control flow graph of the application software code, RASP check instructions which when executed at runtime. The RASP agent being configured for running in the application runtime environment and being capable of controlling application execution and detecting and preventing real-time attacks.

  • Patent number: 11256786
    Abstract: The present invention relates to method of securing a software code comprising at least one constant value, said method generating a secure software code and comprising the steps of: —determining (S1) by a processor in the software code a constant value to be protected, —inserting (S2) by the processor in the software code an indexed array of values such that the constant value to be protected can be determined from one value of the array, —replacing (S3) by the processor in the software code the constant value to be protected by a replacement variable, —inserting (S4) by the processor in the software code a first sequence of instructions which, when executed at runtime: •computes the index in the array of the value from which the constant value to be protected can be determined, •extracts from said array the value located at said computed index in said array, •from said extracted value, determines the constant value to be protected, •sets the value of said replacement variable equal to the determined constan

  • Patent number: 11250110
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a method of securing a compiled software code (SC) comprising computer code instructions organized in a plurality of basic blocks, said method generating a secure software code (SSC) and comprising the steps of: •determining (S1) by a processor a portion of the software code to be protected, •inserting (S2) by the processor in a selected basic block of the software code a first sequence of instructions which when executed at runtime: computes an integrity check value on said portion of the software code to be protected and computes an index value based on said computed integrity check value, •inserting (S3) by the processor in the selected basic block of the software code an indexed array of memory addresses in which the address, when executing the secure software code, of a following basic block to be executed after the selected basic block is indexed by said index value, •inserting (S4) by the processor at the end of the selected basic block of the software code a jump instr
