Automated security algorithm identification for software distributions

A computing system, comprising:

• a first computing device comprising a first memory and a first processor device coupled to the first memory, the first processor device to:
• receive a first source code fragment representing a difference between a first source code file of a first software distribution and a second source code file of a second software distribution;
• determine that the first source code fragment matches any security profile of one or more security profiles, wherein each security profile of the one or more security profiles corresponds to an approved security algorithm;
• and
• responsive to determining that the first source code fragment matches any security profile of the one or more security profiles, generate an approval notification indicating that the first source code fragment comprises the approved security algorithm.

A computer program product stored on a non-transitory computer-readable storage medium and including instructions to cause a processor device to:

• receive a first source code fragment representing a difference between a first source code file of a first software distribution and a second source code file of a second software distribution;
• determine that the first source code fragment matches any security profile of one or more security profiles, wherein each security profile of the one or more security profiles corresponds to an approved security algorithm;
• and
• responsive to determining that the first source code fragment matches any security profile of the one or more security profiles, generate an approval notification indicating that the first source code fragment comprises the approved security algorithm.
