Source Code Anti-Plagiarism: a C# Implementation using the Routing Approach
This addresses software plagiarism for developers, but it appears incremental as it builds on existing encryption and hashing methods.
The paper tackles software plagiarism by introducing a source code anti-plagiarism technique that makes code incomprehensible to plagiarists and prevents modifications, using a Router-based approach with symmetric encryption and cryptographic hashing.
Despite the approaches proposed so far, software plagiarism is still a problem which has not been solved entirely yet. The approach introduced throughout this paper is about a source code anti-plagiarism technique which aims at rendering the source code incomprehensible to a possible plagiarist and at the same time preventing source code modifications. The proposal is based on the concept of Router and makes use of both symmetric encryption and cryptographic hashing functions to provide such guarantees.
