Abstract : Many software developers use the technique of obfuscation to make data and code unintelligible. Obfuscation techniques can be used independently for code and data alone, but these days software developers combine these techniques to protect code and data which in turn increases the complexity of reverse engineering. Data obfuscation is used to protect personally identifiable information or sensitive information used in military applications. Data obfuscation is also used to protect digital content under the Digital Rights Management (DRM) Protection. Code obfuscation can be used to protect the code. This paper proposes a variable encoding data obfuscation approach using secret sharing technique. Here in our approach an integer variable is encoded using number theory based Shamir’s Secret Sharing method. We have also shown that our obfuscation approach is resilient to slicing attacks.
