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 functions in the compiled computer binaries and are compared with each other to identify similarities between functions in the respective compiled computer binaries. Copying can be detected when there are sufficient similarities between fingerprints of two functions.
