Code Obfuscation

Code obfuscation means transforming compiled code so it is harder for a person to read, by renaming symbols and reshaping logic while keeping the behaviour the same. It slows down reverse engineering but does not, on its own, make an app secure.

Obfuscation raises the cost of attack; it is not a substitute for fixing the underlying weakness. A leaked key inside an obfuscated app is still a leaked key.
