Your Students Are Copying Code You Can't See

A student submits a perfectly functional binary search tree. The logic is flawless, but the variable names are gibberish and the structure is bizarrely convoluted. It passes MOSS with flying colors. This is obfuscated plagiarism, the most sophisticated form of academic dishonesty in computer science. We're entering an arms race where simple token matching is no longer enough.
