ABSTRACT

The development of an obfuscator for cybersecurity of critical infrastructure software is considered. The main attention is paid to the analysis of modern threats that may arise from malicious code analysis and the development of obfuscation algorithms to complicate reverse engineering. The impact of obfuscation methods on the performance and compatibility of software with other OCI subsystems is evaluated, and recommendations for the implementation of such methods in the development and operation processes are developed.

KEYWORDS

critical infrastructure objects, information technologies, obfuscator, software protection, cyber protection, personnel, recommendations.
