Khaos: The Impact of Inter-procedural Code Obfuscation on Binary Diffing Techniques. (arXiv:2301.11586v1 [cs.CR])

Software obfuscation techniques can prevent binary diffing techniques from
locating vulnerable code by obfuscating the third-party code, to achieve the
purpose of protecting embedded device software. With the rapid development of
binary diffing techniques, they can achieve more and more accurate function
matching and identification by extracting the features within the function.
This makes existing software obfuscation techniques, which mainly focus on the
intra-procedural code obfuscation, no longer effective.

In this paper, we propose a new inter-procedural code obfuscation mechanism …
