Title: Code Seal v 1.0

Software ·
OSTI ID:1231257

CodeSeal is a Sandia National Laboratories developed technology that provides a means of securely obfuscating finite state machines in a mathematically provable way. The technology was developed in order to provide a solution for anti-reverse engineering, assured execution, and integrity of execution. CodeSeal accomplishes these goals with the addition of the concept of a trust anchor, a small piece of trust integrated into the system, to the model of code obfuscation. Code obfuscation is an active area of academic research, but most findings have merely demonstrated that general obfuscation is impossible. By modifying the security model such that we may rely on the presence of a small, tamper-protected device, however, Sandia has developed an effective method for obfuscating code. An open publication describing the technology in more detail can be found at http://eprint.iacr.org/2008/184.pdf.Independent Software/Hardware monitors, Use control, Supervisory Control And Data Acquisition (SCADA), Algorithm obfuscation
