Abstract

See full text

A code obfuscation device and a method of obfuscating a code of an application program file are disclosed. The code obfuscation device includes an extraction circuit uncompressing an application program file to extract a Dalvik executable file, a code analysis circuit analyzing a bytecode of the Dalvik executable file, a control circuit determining an obfuscation character and a number and a location of the obfuscation character to be inserted in the bytecode, and an identifier conversion circuit inserting the obfuscation character in the bytecode to convert an identifier of the bytecode. Since the identifier of the bytecode is converted using an obfuscation character, which corresponds to a character that is invisible on a screen or has a different Unicode from another character displayed on the screen as a same shape as the character, the application program file has an increased resistance to a reverse engineering attack.
