HUNTSVILLE –Sentar recently completed a Missile Defense Agency (MDA) SBIR Phase I contract to develop technologies for assessing the risk of integrating software code.  Sentar enhanced the veriScan® software tool (now called KnoRisk) to analyze both binary or source code files.  Binary analysis provides a risk assessment that the target file contains malicious or suspicious code segments.  Source analysis, available for multiple programming languages, provides assessment of vulnerabilities and weaknesses.  For both file types, the results of multiple analysis tools are combined and a risk assessment is generated.  A built-in decision support system accepts the software, rejects the software, or recommends further evaluation.  The result is a higher degree of confidence in integrated software.
