Abstract
A method of encrypting a program instructions stream and a method of executing an instructions stream thus encrypted. Instructions are translated into binary code before being encrypted by a stream cipher method. When the program contains a conditional or unconditional branch instruction, an instruction is inserted in the program to initialize the pseudo-random sequence generator using an initialization vector, the initialization vector being used to generate the pseudo-random sequence for encryption and decryption of instructions at the branch address. Instructions can be decrypted and executed on-the-fly without needing to know their physical addresses, even in the presence of a branch.
