Modern mobile app security faces a dual challenge: rapid advances in code analysis tools and AI are eroding the effectiveness of traditional code/app obfuscation, and looming quantum computing threats call into question the long-term strength of encryption.
This whitepaper examines the recent successful attacks on code obfuscation, evaluates popular obfuscation tools and their security and performance limits, and discusses whether standard AES encryption remains a safe bet against reverse engineering, AI-driven analysis, and future quantum decryption.
