DARPA and a team of researchers are turning towards new methods to overcome reverse engineering by using obfuscation to secure government and business security. DARPA is sustaining researchers to seek innovations in software obfuscation solutions to contrast criminals that try to reverse engineer software. Researchers hope to develop new mediums reinforce with encryption, further development to conceal software code testable for secure protection of the intellectual property. The research paper titled Candidate Indistinguishability Obfuscation and Functional Encryption for All Circuits that described the effort.”]
