Empirical Assessment of Client-Server Code-Splitting

This repository contains all the material needed conduct the experiment, and the relative analysis, for the assessment of the effectiveness of the software protection technique called Client-Server Code Splitting (CSCS).

Material

This folder contains the following assets.

1. The instuction files of the attack tasks that the participants has been given:

• SpaceGame-instructions2-C.pdf, instructions to mount the attack to the vanilla application;
• SpaceGame-instructions2-Ts.pdf, instructions to mount the attack to the application protected with CSCS-small;
• SpaceGame-instructions2-T.pdf, instructions to mount the attack to the application protected with CSCS-medium.

2. The original source code of the application on which the subjects have been asked to berform the tasks:

• orig_src_SpaceGame-C1157-C.zip, source code of the vanilla application;
• SpaceGame-instructions2-Ts.pdf, source code of the application protected with CSCS-small;
• SpaceGame-instructions2-T.pdf, source code of the application protected with CSCS-medium.
