The goal of obfuscation is to transform a program, without affecting its functionality, such that some secret information within the program can be hidden for as long as possible from an adversary armed with reverse engineering tools. Slicing is a form of reverse engineering which aims to abstract away a subset of program code based on a particular program point and is considered to be a potent program comprehension technique. Thus, slicing could be used as a way of attacking obfuscated programs. It is challenging to manufacture obfuscating transforms that are provably resilient to slicing attacks.We show in this paper how we can utilise the information gained from slicing a program to aid us in designing obfuscations that are more resistant to slicing. We extend a previously proposed technique and provide proofs of correctness for our transforms. Finally, we illustrate our approach with a number of obfuscating transforms and provide empirical results using software engineering metrics.
