SOURCE AUTHENTICATION OF A SOFTWARE PRODUCT

摘要

Embodiments of the present invention provide systems and methods for authenticating the source code of a software end product. The method includes generating a compound key, which is composed of a set of unique keys generated from a source file. A set of files are separately build based on a received source code, and a key generated and embedded into the files at the time of the build. A validation tool is used to compare the values of the generated compound key to the values of the embedded key to determine if the values match.

主权项

1. A method for authenticating source code, the method comprising:
receiving, by one or more processors, at least one source file; generating, by a key generator, a compound key, wherein the compound key comprises a set of keys generated from the at least one source file; building, by one or more processors, a set of files, based on a source code from the at least one source file; generating, by the key generator, a value associated with each file of the set of files; and comparing, by a key validation tool, the compound key and the value to determine if said compound key is equivalent to said value.
