Method of diversity software protection based on fusion compilation by Xiaobing XIONG, Hui SHU, Fei KANG

“…For the obvious characteristics and single mode of the existing common protection methods,with the help of the LLVM framework,a diversity software protection method based on fusion compilation was proposed.In the proposed method,the target software is encrypted randomly,and deeply integrated with the bunker code at the compilation level,and the encrypted target software is decrypted by memory execution technology.Then it is executed in the form of no process in memory,and the diversified protection effect of the target software is realized by the diversity of the bunker and the randomness of the fusion strategies.A number of commonly used software are selected as the test case,and the proposed method is tested from the aspects of resource cost,protection effect,comparative experiment and so on.Compared with the traditional methods such as obfuscation and packing,the proposed method has great advantages in anti-static analysis and anti-dynamic debugging,and can effectively resist the mainstream methods of reverse analyzing and cracking.…”

Pseudo-siamese network image tampering localization model based on reinforced samples by Jinwei WANG, Zihe ZHANG, Xiangyang LUO, Bin MA

“…With the continuous development of the internet, an increasing number of images have been tampered with on the network, accompanied by a growing range of techniques to cover up tampering traces.However, most current detection models neglect the impact of image post-processing on tamper detection algorithms, limiting their real-life applications.To address these issues, a general image tampering location model based on enhanced samples and the pseudo-twin network was proposed.The pseudo-twin network enabled the model to learn tampering features in real images.On one hand, by applying convolution constraints, the image content was suppressed, allowing the model to focus more on residual trace information of tampering.The two-branch structure of the network facilitated the comprehensive utilization of image feature information.By utilizing enhanced samples, the model could dynamically generate the most crucial pictures for learning tamper types, enabling targeted training of the model.This approach ensured that the model converged in all directions, ultimately obtaining the global optimal model.The idea of data enhancement was employed to automatically generate abundant tampered images and corresponding masks, effectively resolving the limited tampering dataset issue.Extensive experiments were conducted on four datasets, demonstrating the feasibility and effectiveness of the proposed model in pixel-level tamper detection.Particularly on the Columbia dataset, the algorithm achieves a 33.5% increase in F1 score and a 23.3% increase in MCC score.These results indicate that the proposed model harnesses the advantages of deep learning models and significantly improves the effectiveness of tamper location detection.…”
