Software obfuscation has always been a controversially discussed research area. While
theoretical results indicate that provably secure obfuscation in general is impossible, its …

Binary code fingerprinting is crucial in many security applications. Examples include
malware detection, software infringement, vulnerability analysis, and digital forensics. It is …

Predicting function names in stripped binaries is an extremely useful but challenging task, as
it requires summarizing the execution behavior and semantics of the function in human …

Return-oriented programming is an effective code-reuse attack in which short code
sequences ending in a ret instruction are found within existing binaries and executed in …

Function identification is a fundamental challenge in reverse engineering and binary
program analysis. For instance, binary rewriting and control flow integrity rely on accurate …

Binary code search has received much attention recently due to its impactful applications,
eg, plagiarism detection, malware detection and software vulnerability auditing. However …

In this paper we tackle the challenge of providing a generic security architecture for the
Android OS that can serve as a flexible and effective ecosystem to instantiate different …

Recent years have seen extensive diversification of the “underground economy” associated
with malware and the subversion of Internet-connected systems. This trend towards …

Matching function binaries—the process of identifying similar functions among binary
executables—is a challenge that underlies many security applications such as malware …

Introspection has featured prominently in many recent security solutions, such as virtual
