Abstract: Software plagiarism detection is one of the key techniques for the protection of software intellectual property. In this paper, a new kind of dynamic birthmark SODB (stack operation dynamic birthmark) was proposed, which utilizes the characteristics of push and pop operation of call stack during program execution, to uniquely identify the program. Plagiarism detection was realized by evaluating the similarity of their SODBs among different programs providing the same inputs. In the experiments, 35 versions of 14 different softwares taken from the Source Forge were selected, based on which 87 samples were generated totally by processing with different compilers and optimization levels and semantic-preserving code obfuscation techniques. The quality of our SODB was evaluated with these 87 experimental objects, and the results show that our method can accurately recognize plagiarism between copies and distinguish between independently implemented programs with only about 6.7% misjudgement rate and 7% false negative rate at the absence of software source code.

Key words: software plagiarism detection, software obfuscation, stack operation dynamic birthmark
