“…Zipr addresses many of the problems suffered by existing static binary rewriters such as high space overhead (as much as 2X), the inability to translate arbitrarily compiled programs (such as code compiled to be position independent), high runtime overhead, and requiring additional compiler information which may not be available [2,6,15,23,28,30,32,33,37].…”

“…Regarding the wide range of transformations that can be applied at link-time, as necessary to insert the necessary redundancy, we point to the existing applications of the open-source link-time binary rewriting framework Diablo 1 [48]. These applications include optimization and compaction [19], obfuscation [4,34] and deobfuscation [32], anti-tampering [51], formal verification of binary code [54], instrumentation [16], GUI binary code editing [49], and operating system customization [12].…”

This paper presents a feasibility study to protect smart card software against fault-injection attacks by means of link-time code rewriting. This approach avoids the drawbacks of source code hardening, avoids the need for manual assembly writing, and is applicable in conjunction with closed third-party compilers. We implemented a range of cookbook code hardening recipes in a prototype link-time rewriter and evaluate their coverage and associated overhead to conclude that this approach is promising. We demonstrate that the overhead of using an automated link-time approach is not significantly higher than what can be obtained with compile-time hardening or with manual hardening of compiler-generated assembly code.

The analysis of binary code is a common step of Man-At-The-End attacks to identify code sections crucial to implement attacks, such as identifying private key hidden in the code, identifying sensitive algorithms or tamper with the code to disable protections (e.g. license checks or DRM) embedded in binary code, or use the software in an unauthorized manner. Code Mobility can be used to thwart code analysis and debugging by removing parts of the code from the deployed software program and installing it at runtime by downloading binary code blocks from a trusted server. The proposed architecture of the code mobility protection downloads mobile code blocks, which are allocated dynamically at addresses determined at run-time; control transfers into and out of mobile code blocks are rewritten using the Diablo binaryrewriter tool.
