A computer-implemented method for automatically identifying changes in deliverable files may include (1) identifying, within first and second versions of a program file, at least one post-file-header section that is located after a file header of the program file, (2) locating, within the post-file-header section of the first version of the program file, a first set of characters that correspond to at least one data field that is known to potentially change between builds of the program file even when source code of the program file has not changed, (3) locating, within the post-file-header section of the second version of the program file, a second set of characters that correspond to the data field, and (4) masking both the first and second sets of characters from a comparison between the first and second versions of the file. Various other methods, systems, and computer-readable media are also disclosed.

Systems and methods for automatically identifying changes in deliverable files

A method is disclosed. The method includes encrypting a first data, wherein the encrypting the first data set is performed using a first key, and the encrypting the first data set is performed using a dedicated encryption circuit. The first data set is stored on a first storage medium. A second data set is encrypted, wherein the encrypting the second data set is performed using a second key, and the encrypting the second data set is performed using the dedicated encryption circuit. The second data set is stored on the first storage medium.
