"Principles and Practice of Software Forensics" by Bob Zeidman, President of Zeidman Consulting
Abstract: Software copyright infringement and trade secret theft are problems of growing concern. Software code theft may be purposeful to gain an unfair advantage over a competitor, or it may be unintended as when a programmer takes code from one project and uses it in another project without first obtaining the appropriate rights. In all cases, a standard measure and standard process must be able to effectively compare source code from different programs to determine whether theft or infringement occurred. This talk will examine the algorithms of software code correlation and the accompanying process, and will demonstrate how they are used to detect software code copying.
