Abstract

The invention discloses an SGX-based program control flow obfuscation method and system. The method includes: hiding the definitions of variables in all branch statement conditions in the original program, and the variables are called hidden variables; All program statements are converted to hide the hidden variables, and the conversion program and the control flow matrix are obtained; the conversion program and the control flow matrix are sent to a remote computing unit, and the conversion program is stored in an untrusted environment of the remote computing unit wherein, the control flow matrix is ​​stored in the trusted environment SGX Enclave of the remote computing unit; based on the control flow matrix, the conversion program is executed in the remote computing unit. The invention combines the program transformation technology and the Intel software protection extension technology, by converting the condition of each branch statement and moving its evaluation to an opaque and credible hardware execution environment, so as to ensure high control flow confidentiality.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of control flow obfuscation, in particular to a program control flow obfuscation method and system, an SGX-based program control flow obfuscation method and system, which can hide the variables of each branch statement condition and protect the remote execution environment scene This ensures the confidentiality of the application logic, preventing the application logic from being obtained and utilized maliciously by external attackers. Background technique [0002] SGX is a hardware function introduced by Intel since the sixth generation of CPU. It is a set of x86-64ISA extensions, which can set up a protected execution environment (called enclave), so that users only need to trust the processor and code users place in their enclave. code within. The enclave is protected by the processor: the processor controls access to the enclave's memory, preventing illegal instructions that attempt to read from...
