Abstract
A system, an apparatus, a computer program product and a method for obfuscation-based security and authentication. The method comprises: obtaining a different key for each different device; obfuscating an interface layer utilized by components of the device to interact, using the key, to produce an obfuscated interface layer; and providing, directly or indirectly, the two components with the key to allow the two components to utilize the obfuscated interface layer to interact with each other. The system comprises a plurality of devices that are instances of a same device and a server coupled to a memory retaining a plurality of keys, each of which is used to obfuscate interface layers of a different device to produce heterogeneous set of devices instead of a homogenous set of devices. Communications and operations with the plurality of devices are performed in an obfuscated manner through the server.
