Metrics for code obfuscation based on symbolic execution and N-scope complexity by Yuqiang XIAO, Yunfei GUO, Yawen WANG

“…Code obfuscation has been well developed as mitigated endogenous security technology, to effectively resist MATE attacks (e.g.reverse engineering).And it also has important value for the reasonable metrics of code obfuscation effect.Since symbolic execution is widely used in anti-obfuscation attacks, metrics for code obfuscation resilience can refer to the efforts of generating input test set for executing all program paths.However, some adversarial techniques could reduce the symbol execution efficiency significantly based on the nested structure of the program and increase the error of the resilience reference.To solve the above problems, a metrics for code obfuscation was proposed based on symbolic execution and N-scope complexity.The obfuscation resilience was defined with symbolic execution time and obfuscation potency was defined based on the proposed N-scope complexity for better robustness in measuring the resilience of multi-nested structure programs.Furthermore, the correlation analysis of obfuscation effect was proposed and the effect was quantified by symbolic execution and control flow diagram extraction of programs.Over 4000 obfuscated programs from 3 open-sourced assemblies were evaluated with proposed metrics in the experiment, which indicated the generalization performance and practicality of the metrics.And an example of this metrics application was presented in a simulated obfuscation scenario which provided references of obfuscation technology metrics and obfuscation configuration for obfuscation users.…”

Clarifications needed concerning the new Article 59 dealing with pleomorphic fungi by Walter Gams, Hans-Otto Baral, Walter M. Jaklitsch, Roland Kirschner, Marc Stadler

“…We recommend that individual authors and committees establishing lists of protected names should generally not recombine older epithets from a demoted genus into the accepted genus, when another one from pre-2013 is available in that genus. (2) Because the concepts of correlated teleomorph and anamorph genera are often incongruent, enforced congruence leads to a loss of information. …”

Être internationaliste dans une société coloniale : le cas des grecs de gauche en Égypte (1914-1960) by Katérina Trimi-Kirou

“…Cet article étudie un échantillon particulier de la population qui résidait en Égypte et appartenait aux catégories suivantes : à la gauche, à la nation hellénique, à la population étrangère et privilégiée d’Égypte et, en règle générale, aux couches moyennes. L’identité politique, internationaliste de ces Égyptiotes (Grecs d’Égypte) de gauche, s’oppose idéologiquement, et dans une certaine mesure objectivement, à leur identité social-colonialiste, mais aussi à leur identité nationale, des identités acquises inconsciemment, non choisies mais très tôt assimilées et fortes. …”
