What is CAO?

CAO most likely refers to Computer-Aided Obfuscation, a technique used in software security to make code more difficult to understand and reverse engineer. This involves applying various transformations to the code, such as renaming variables, inserting dead code, and altering control flow, without changing its functionality. It is used to protect intellectual property, prevent tampering, and hinder malware analysis. However, I lack certainty without further context. There may be other applications of the CAO acronym.
