In this paper was done analysis of existing classifications for obfuscation software security methods. Based on the above analysis of these classification it was found that software protection has certain drawbacks such as are not taken into account some obfuscation methods that can strongly increase stability of the code. In this work presented modern obfuscation software security methods and developed generalized classification of these methods. Subsequently, based on developed classification, it is planned to create software based on presented algorithm, that will allow to embrangle code, made the process of software analysis more complicated and will provide software security from unauthorized disclosure. The obtained results expand the knowledge on how to use obfuscation security methods and will provide the development of modern and effective software security systems.References
