An exemplary system, method and computer-accessible medium can be provided which can include, for example, generating a super control dataflow graph(s) (CDFG) by applying a plurality of electronic system level ESL design constraints associated with an integrated circuit, determining an upper bound(s) number and a lower bound(s) number based on a number of CDFGs in the super CDFG(s)—with each number being one metric of a capability of the integrated circuit to resist reverse engineering attack—, and inserting a component(s) into a register transfer level netlist to effectuate a modification of the upper bound(s) and the lower bound(s).
