Detecting and preventing cipher key disclosure
For detecting and preventing cipher key disclosure, a method detects software code in a copy buffer. In response to detecting the software code, the method detects a cipher key in the software code. In response to detecting the cipher key, the method communicates a cipher alert that the cipher key is in the software code.
1. A method comprising:
training, by use of a processor, a neural network with training cipher keys and training software code;
detecting software code in a copy buffer;
in response to detecting the software code, detecting, by use of the neural network, a cipher key in the software code, wherein the cipher key provides access to a specified application via an Application Programming Interface (API) for the software code;
in response to detecting the cipher key in the software code, detecting that the software code is copied to the specified application, wherein the specified application is an online repository; and
in response to detecting the cipher key and detecting that the software code is copied to the specified application, communicating a cipher alert that the cipher key is in the software code.
2. The method of claim 1 , the method further comprising scrubbing the copy buffer.
3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the cipher key is further detected based on string entropy.
4. The method of claim 1 , wherein the cipher key is further detected based on string patterns.
5. The method of claim 1 , wherein the cipher alert comprises the cipher key.
6. An apparatus comprising:
a processor;
a memory storing code executable by the processor to:
train a neural network with training cipher keys and training software code;
detect software code in a copy buffer;
in response to detecting the software code, detect, using the neural network, a cipher key in the software code, wherein the cipher key provides access to a specified application via an Application Programming Interface (API) for the software code;
in response to detecting the cipher key in the software code, detect that the software code is copied to the specified application, wherein the specified application is an online repository; and
in response to detecting the cipher key and detecting that the software code is copied to the specified application, communicate a cipher alert that the cipher key is in the software code.
7. The apparatus of claim 6 , wherein the code is further executable by the processor to scrub the copy buffer.
8. The apparatus of claim 6 , wherein the cipher key is further detected based on string entropy.
9. The apparatus of claim 6 , wherein the cipher key is further detected based on string patterns.
10. The apparatus of claim 6 , wherein the cipher alert comprises the cipher key.
11. A program product comprising a non-transitory computer readable storage medium that stores code executable by a processor, the executable code comprising code to:
train a neural network with training cipher keys and training software code;
detect software code in a copy buffer;
in response to detecting the software code, detect, using the neural network, a cipher key in the software code, wherein the cipher key provides access to a specified application via an Application Programming Interface (API) for the software code;
in response to detecting the cipher key in the software code, detect that the software code is copied to the specified application, wherein the specified application is an online repository; and
in response to detecting the cipher key and detecting that the software code is coped to the specified application, communicate a cipher alert that the cipher key is in the software code.
12. The program product of claim 11 , wherein the code is further executable by the processor to scrub the copy buffer.
13. The program product of claim 11 , wherein the cipher key is further detected based on string entropy.
14. The program product of claim 11 , wherein the cipher key is further detected based on string patterns.
15. The program product of claim 11 , wherein the cipher alert comprises the cipher key.
