New Method Detects Vulnerabilities in Encrypted Software Code
/ 1 min read
🔍✨ New method enables secure analysis of encrypted software code to detect vulnerabilities. A novel approach to software quality and privacy allows testing companies to analyze encrypted code without compromising intellectual property. By integrating Static Code Analysis with Searchable Symmetric Encryption, the method creates an encrypted inverted index to facilitate vulnerability detection while maintaining confidentiality. This innovative technique, termed Confidential Code Analysis, was implemented in a tool called CoCoA, which demonstrated comparable precision to traditional static analysis tools with a modest performance overhead of 42.7%. The research aims to enhance software security while addressing privacy concerns in code analysis, paving the way for further advancements in the field.
