Speaking Sessions

  • Discovering Software Trade Secret Theft

    Not Available x   Room: Not Assigned
    This session will provide an introduction to the discovery of trade secret theft. The topics will include: description of a trade secret as it applies to software, types of source code correlation, legitimate reasons for correlation, a discussion of analysis applications for locating portions of correlated source code such as CodeSuite® and a step-by-step methodology to determine whether correlations are in fact evidence of trade secret theft. The purpose of the talk is to provide developers with an awareness of software trade secrets, as well as a methodology to test whether their own software is infringing upon or being infringed upon.
