Abstract
Systems and methods of detecting copying of computer code or portions of computer code involve generating unique fingerprints from compiled computer binaries. The unique fingerprints are simplified representations of the compiled computer binaries and are compared with each other to identify similarities between the compiled computer binaries. Copying can be detected when there are sufficient similarities between at least portions of two compiled computer binaries.
