System and method for identifying software changes

摘要

An enterprise trust server (ETS) can include a user interface configured to initiate generation of a first file signature associated with a first file accessed from a file system associated with a computer system at a first time and generation of a second file signature associated with a second file accessed from the file system at a second time subsequent to the first time. The ETS also includes a file signature comparator configured to compare the first and second file signatures to determine a difference set of file signatures. The ETS can be configured to send a request comprising the difference set of file signatures to a trust repository and to receive a response that identifies a software product associated with the first and second files that changed between the first and second times based on the difference set of file signatures.

主权项

1. An enterprise trust server comprising a processor and memory and programmed to execute machine readable instructions that, when executed, cause the enterprise server to:
initiate generation of a first at least one file signature associated with a first at least one file accessed from at least one file system associated with a computer system at a first time, and generation of a second at least one file signature associated with a second at least one file accessed from the at least one file system at a second time subsequent to the first time; and compare the first and second at least one file signature to determine a difference set of file signatures; send a request comprising the difference set of file signatures to a trust repository; and receive a response that identifies at least one software product associated with the first and second at least one file that changed between the first and second times based on the difference set of file signatures.
