Abstract
A system configured to compute match potential between first data and second data is provided. The system includes data storage storing the first data and the second data, and at least one processor coupled to the data storage. The at least one processor is configured to identify a first sequence of fingerprints characterizing a first plurality of sections of the first data, the first sequence being ordered according to an order of the first plurality of sections within the first data; identify a second sequence of fingerprints comprising fingerprints that match fingerprints within the first sequence, the second sequence of fingerprints characterizing a second plurality of sections of the second data, the second sequence being ordered according to an order of the second plurality of sections within the second data; quantify a similarity between the first sequence and the second sequence; and adjust the match potential based on the similarity.
