Abstract: A computer system, method, or non-transitory computer-readable medium provides an authoritative name source for files within an ecosystem. Files in the ecosystem which have identical contends and similar contents to each other are merged into the same supercluster, to capture possibly incremental changes to the files over time in one of the superclusters. For each supercluster which has files with identical and similar contents, the supercluster is broken down into package clusters, based on packages to which the files belong, each of the package clusters has the files from a same package. The package cluster which has most change frequency across versions, is identified as the authoritative package. The authoritative name for the files is resolved, based on the authoritative packages that are determined, across the plurality of superclusters which have files with identical and similar contents, and the authoritative name is generated. Any authoritative name collision is resolved.

Abstract: A computer system or method identifies components. A component fingerprint storage is configured to memorize known fingerprints of known components. The term “component” used herein is defined to be a specific version of pre-existing executable software, or a reusable pre-existing self-contained software code building block which is not a complete stand-alone finished product ready for use and which is binary or source code. A fingerprint is generated for a normalized unknown component and fingerprints are generated for all normalized components included in the unknown component. It is determined whether any of the fingerprints generated for the normalized unknown component and for the normalized components included in the unknown component match any of the known fingerprints of known components.
