Abstract
Systems for enabling an application to track provenance include an application analysis module configured to analyze an application binary to discover injection points for provenance tracking code; and an instruction alteration module configured to overwrite instructions in the application binary at the injection points to create an instrumented application. The overwritten instructions link the application binary to one or more instrumented libraries that invoke a provenance layer to track data operations.
