Program Obfuscation: Foundations and Applications

拟议的调查是一个为期3年的单一研究者提案，涉及一个学术领导机构（MIT）和一家技术公司（IBM）的人员参与。所提出的研究的智力价值在于，它将扩展我们对代码可以做什么的基本理解，而不是黑盒访问代码。拟议研究的更广泛影响将通过PI和高级人员传播在期刊出版物，公开会议和研讨会演讲中获得的知识和理解，以及教授研究生水平和本科生水平的计算理论，密码学和网络安全课程。最后，包括PI在内的两名研究小组成员是女性。

The proposed investigation is a 3 year single investigator proposal involving an academic lead institution (MIT) and participation by personnel from a technology company (IBM).The intellectual merit of the proposed research is that it will broaden our foundational understanding of what can be done with code in contrast with black box access to code.The broader impact of the proposed research will be through the PI and senior personnel disseminating the knowledge and understanding gained in journal publications, public conference and workshop presentations, and teaching graduate level and undergraduate level courses in theory of computation, cryptography, and network security. Finally, two members of the research team, including the PI, are women.
