Graphs Resemblance based Software Birthmarks through Data Mining for Piracy Control

Polymorphic Attacks against Sequence-based Software Birthmarks

Sequence alignment algorithms have recently found a use in detecting code clones, software plagiarism, code theft, and polymorphic malware. This approach involves extracting birthmarks, in this case sequences, from programs and comparing them using sequence alignment, a procedure which has been intensively studied in the field of bioinformatics. This idea seems promising. However, we have shown...

Rethinking Software Piracy: Active Software Rights Verification for Effective Control of Piracy

Web Data Mining through Software Agents

Web data mining research efforts lead to user or group of user’s satisfaction by providing accurate and relevant information retrieval; by learning about user’s demands so that services can target specific groups or even individual users and by providing personalized service. Due to the explosive growth of web content in the internet world in the past few years, there is tremendous requirement ...

Software Piracy Control Framework in Mobile Cloud Computing Systems

The ubiquity of the cloud computing allows the mobile devices to connect and use the traditional cloud computing services [1]. However, unlike the normal computing machines, the mobile devices are resource constrained. The precincts of low processing power, less storage capacity, limited energy, and the capricious internet connectivity does not allow the compute and storage mandating applicatio...

Characterising Data Mining software

The ever-increasing number of fielded Data Mining applications is evidence that the technology works and produces added value in a variety of business areas. Most of the research-lab generated algorithms have found their way under various guises in a number of commercial software packages. When considering the use of Data Mining, the average business user is now faced with a plethora of DM soft...
