This new method of program obfuscation could lead to ultra-secure software that keeps your personal information safe from potential attackers.

The idea of obfuscating a program has been around for decades. But, the security and hacking communities have been able to defeat all these measures. Cryptographic experts have long been tinkering with stronger approaches, but it nothing happened until now.

Cryptographers have been chasing the idea of a so-called “black box obfuscator
