Research abstract
Valuable DoD codes are not threated by sleep and date deprived teenage crackers... instead, they will be attacked by tiger teams of cryptographers, mathematicians, and coders. Clearly, state-of-the-art techniques are needed. We propose multi-layered,tailorable combinations of anti-debugging, obfuscation, and cryptographic protections. Commercial software vendors are estimated to lose $14B a year to piracy. This effort will result in sophisticated, integrated techniques for protecting the US softwareindustry.
