Abstract

Techniques for targeted security monitoring using semantic behavioral change analysis are described. A mutation monitor can use a code repository to generate a build of a software project prior to a code commit and another build after the code commit. An instruction-difference between the builds can be generated and used to perform a change impact analysis to identify control-flow and data dependencies changed as a result of the code commit. A semantic difference can be generated by annotating a syntactic difference for the code commit based on the identified control-flow and data dependency changes to allow for the behavioral changes to be easily shown to a user. Security impact analysis can be performed on parts of the software impacted by the code commit to quickly determine the security impacts introduced by the code commit.
