| Research Abstract |
This research proposes a method for evaluating the stealthiness of software protection code. Artificial code fragments, which means unusual code fragments caused by obfuscation, are easy to distinguish from unprotected code fragments. Based on the fact, the degree of stealthiness is estimated according to the artificiality of the protected code, by means of probabilistic language model (N-gram model). The results of the case study show that the obfuscation techniques that corrupt the original semantics of the program or that just insert junk code fragments to the program, tend to decrease the stealthiness of the code.
