Abstract

Program obfuscation is a cryptographic primitive that hides the secrets inside a program while preserving its functionality via so-called secure virtual black-box property. In this paper, we give the formal definition of one-hop and unidirectional re-encryption function, and also propose two kinds of encryption mechanisms to implicitly obtain the re-encryption functionality. We design an algorithm ReEncObf to implement a secure program obfuscator for the re-encryption function. The obfuscator can resist any attacker (even program executor) from the reversing engineering to obtain the sensitive information including both the secret key and the plaintext when running the obfuscated program.
