A method is provided for obfuscating program code to prevent unauthorized users from accessing video. The method includes receiving an original program code that provides functionality. The original program code is transformed into obfuscated program code defining a randomized branch encoded version of the original program code. The obfuscated program code is then stored, and a processor receiving input video data flow uses the obfuscated program code to generate an output data flow.

Obfuscation for protection of streaming media and other data flows

A secure cloud-based node-locking service with built-in attack detection to eliminate fuzzing, cloning and other attacks is disclosed. White-box base files are securely stored on the cloud service and are not vulnerable to accidental leakage. A secure cloud-based dynamic secret encoding service reduces the risk of exposure of unprotected secrets and other sensitive data.

Cloud-based whitebox node locking

A system and method for authenticating an application that employs cryptographic keys and functions is provided with white box cryptography employed to secure the application, and to secure communications with the application. The white box includes a transformation of the application and the keys. A secure channel between the white box and a crypto token is used for communications. In some cases, the transformed keys can be employed in authenticating the white box to the crypto token. The presence of a valid crypto token can be periodically determined. In the presence of a valid crypto token, the white box can provide a verifiable message to a remote server. The remote server can verify the message and initiate a service.

Advanced crypto token authentication

A fully homomorphic white-box implementation of one or more cryptographic operations is presented. This method allows construction of white-box implementations from general-purpose code without necessitating specialized knowledge in cryptography, and with minimal impact to the processing and memory requirements for non-white-box implementations. This method and the techniques that use it are ideally suited for securing 'math heavy' implementations, such as codecs, that currently do not benefit from white-box security because of memory or processing concerns. Further, the fully homomorphic white-box construction can produce a white-box implementation from general purpose program code, such as C or C++.

Strong fully homomorphic white-box and method for using same

A method is provided to dynamically encode data at runtime with a tagged data element in a program associated with an obfuscation algorithm randomly selected during runtime. Instructions for invoking the obfuscation algorithm are generated when a compiler encounters the tagged variable in the source code. At runtime, unencoded data is encoded by the obfuscation algorithm when the unencoded data is copied to the tagged data element; encoded data is re-encoded by the obfuscation algorithm when the encoded data is copied from a differently tagged data element to the tagged data element, wherein the differently tagged data element is associated with a different obfuscation algorithm; and encoded data is decoded by the obfuscation algorithm when the encoded data is copied from the tagged data element to an untagged data element.

A method is provided for generating an output from an input according to a secret using a white-box implementation of a cryptographic function having a first operation, a second operation, and a third operation. The method applies the input to a first operation to generate a first intermediate result, applies the first intermediate result to a second operation to generate a second intermediate result, and applies the second intermediate result to a third operation to generate the output, wherein at least two of the first operation, the second operation, and the third operation is implemented by a plurality of interconnected logic elements, the interconnection of the plurality of logic elements being comprised of one of a non-algebraic interconnection of logic elements and an algebraic interconnection of logic elements having obfuscated boundaries between the at least one of the first operation, the second operation and the third operation.

Strong white-box cryptography

A method for whitebox cryptography is provided for computing an algorithm(m,S) with input m and secret S, using one or more white-box encoded operations. The method includes accepting an encoded input c, where c=Enc(P,m); accepting an encoded secret S', where S&#x2032;=Enc(P,S); performing one or more operations on the encoded input c and the encoded secret S&#x2032; modulo N to obtain an encoded output c&#x2032;; and decoding the encoded output c&#x2032; with the private key p to recover an output m&#x2032; according to m&#x2032;=Dec(p,c&#x2032;), such that m&#x2032;=(m,S).
