Generating security manifests for software components using binary static analysis

Abstract:

Systems, methods, and software can be used to generating security manifests for software components using binary static analysis. In some aspects, one computer-implemented method includes performing a binary static analysis of a binary software component to determine one or more security characteristics of the binary software component; generating a security manifest for the binary software component including the determined one or more security characteristics of the binary software component; and providing the security manifest to a software management system configured to determine whether to deploy the binary software component based on the security manifest.
