As the field becomes more mainstream, we can expect journals, workshops, and conferences dedicated exclusively to surreptitious software, but this has yet to happen. The military has also spent much effort (and taxpayer money) on surreptitious software research. For example, the patent [96] held on Cousot’s software watermarking algorithm [95] is assigned to the French Thales group, the ninth-largest defense contractor in the world. S. S. Army Project Executive Offices (PEOs) and Project Managers (PMs) are now charged with executing Army and Department of Defense (DoD) AT policies in the design and implementation of their systems.
Here’s another quote from the DoD [115]: The Software Protection Initiative (SPI) is an undertaking of the Department of Defense (DoD) to develop and deploy technologies to secure special-purpose computer programs containing information critical to DoD weapon programs. SPI offers a novel approach to protecting high value computer programs. It doesn’t secure the computer or the network. Instead it empowers a single computer program to secure itself. This approach promises to significantly improve DoD’s Information Assurance posture.
In the second step, we’ve considered each basic block once, and have gathered some information. After a basic block has executed the statement x = 3, for example, it is clear that x must have the value 3. Also, if a basic block doesn’t change the value of x, then x must have the same value after the block executes as it did before. When control can flow into a basic block from two different directions and we’ve computed that x has the same value on both paths, then we can safely assume that it will always have that value at the entry to the block.
