ABSTRACT
A software obfuscator is a program O to transform a source
program P for protection against malicious reverse engineering.
O should be correct (O(P) has same functionality with
P), resilient (O(P) is resilient against attacks), and eective
(O(P) is not too much slower than P). In this paper we
describe the design of an obfuscator which consists of two
parts. The rst part extracts the control 
ow information
from the program and saves it in another process named
Monitor-process. The second part protects Monitor-process
converting it into an Aucsmith like self-modifying version.
We prove the correctness of the obfuscation scheme. We assess
its resilience and eciency to show that both are high.
This supports the claim that our approach is practical.
