Program Obfuscation: Foundations and Applications

拟议的调查是一项为期3年的单一调查员提案，涉及一家学术领先机构(MIT)和一家技术公司(IBM)的人员参与。拟议研究的智力价值在于，它将拓宽我们对代码可以做什么的基本理解，而不是通过黑盒访问代码。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示中获得的知识和理解，并教授计算、密码学和网络安全理论的研究生和本科生课程。最后，研究团队中的两名成员，包括PI，都是女性。

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.
