SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR IP FINGERPRINTING AND IP DNA ANALYSIS

摘要

Embodiments disclosed include computer implemented systems and methods comprising multiple computer programs that when used together as part of the system enable the detection of one set of computer files within another set of files without having direct access to the files themselves. A computer program generated unique fingerprint for each set of files that is a condensed representation of that file that ensures no reverse engineering is possible from its use. Another computer program serves as a public repository to securely store fingerprints from multiple sources (e.g. companies).Additionally, another computer program is used to analyze the two or more file sets and produces a report that shows whether files in one set are contained in the other.

主权项

1. A computer automated system comprising a processing unit, a non-transitory storage medium coupled to the processing unit, and having instructions encoded thereon, which when implemented by the processing unit, configure the computer automated system to:
generate a mathematical representation of a first file or group of files in a condensed format that uniquely identifies the file or group of files without modification of the first file or group of files; store the mathematical representation in the condensed format, in a first repository; analyze a second file or group of files; determine, based on the analysis, with reference to the first repository, if the analyzed second file or group of files contain an element or elements comprised in the first file or group of files; generate a report comprising zero or more of such matching elements contained in the analyzed second file or group of files; and wherein the analysis is augmented with additional user generated element or elements stored in a second repository.
