  • Patent number: 10296491
    Abstract: Embodiments disclosed include computer implemented systems and methods comprising multiple computer programs that when used together as part of the system enable the detection of one set of computer files within another set of files without having direct access to the files themselves. A computer program generated unique fingerprint for each set of files that is a condensed representation of that file that ensures no reverse engineering is possible from its use. Another computer program serves as a public repository to securely store fingerprints from multiple sources (e.g. companies).Additionally, another computer program is used to analyze the two or more file sets and produces a report that shows whether files in one set are contained in the other.
