Obfuscation and Anonymization Transformation: Difference between revisions

Obfuscation is a code transformation technique used to make source code difficult to read and understand while preserving its functionality. This process typically involves renaming identifiers, restructuring code, or inserting misleading elements to obscure the original logic. Obfuscation is often used to protect intellectual property, prevent reverse engineering, or secure sensitive logic in software. While the transformed code remains executable, it becomes significantly harder for humans to analyze, ensuring that key implementation details are concealed without altering program behavior.

emmtrix Studio implements obfuscation using #pragma directives or via the GUI. Obfuscation is a transformation that renames identifiers so that they become obscure. This feature is typically used to ensure that the code is unrecognizable. Functionality of the code and its original structure are preserved. The algorithms used are Secure Hash Algorithms SHA-1 and SHA-256.
