Abstract
The disclosed subject matter provides for code repository intrusion detection. A code developer profile can be generated based on characteristic features present in code composed by the developer. Characteristic features can be related to the coding propensities peculiar to individual developers and, over sufficient numbers of characteristic features, can be considered pseudo-signatures. A target code set is analyzed in view of one or more developer profiles to generate a validation score related to a likelihood of a particular developer composing a portion of the target code set. This can serve to confirm or refute a claim of authorship, or can serve to identify likely author candidates from a set of developers. Where the target code set authorship is determined to be sufficiently suspect, the code set can be subjected to further scrutiny to thwart intrusion into the code repository.
