Research abstract
GateChange Technologies, Inc. has performed extensive research on reconfigurable devices and systems. This research has identified the key benefits and fundamental limitations of the existing solutions. GateChange developed the Dynamic Instruction SetProcessor (DISP) in response to this research. DISP is an innovative, high-performance reconfigurable architecture that embodies new technology for software security and protection of intellectual property. This Small Business Innovation Research Phase IProject will produce a cycle-accurate simulator and a complete evaluation of DISP for software security, including comparison to extant solutions.DISP thwarts attempts to reverse engineer computer software codes or extract useful information from instruction streams through real-time creation and destruction of highly application specific, arbitrarily wide
