Abstract

Method and apparatus for obfuscating computer software code, to protect against reverse-engineering of the code. The obfuscation here is on the part of the code that accesses buffers (memory locations). Further, the obfuscation process copies or replaces parts of the buffer contents with local variables. This obfuscation is typically carried out by suitably annotating (modifying) the original source code.
