A technique protects source code and is performed in an electronic device. The technique involves performing, on the source code, a scanning operation which provides a scanning result indicating whether the source code includes a cryptographic key. The technique further involves performing a remedial operation (e.g., alerting an administrator, deleting the key, replacing the key, combinations thereof, etc.) to prevent undesired exposure of the cryptographic key when the scanning result indicates that the source code includes a cryptographic key. The technique further involves refraining from performing the remedial operation when the scanning result indicates that the source code does not include a cryptographic key.
In an electronic device, a method of protecting source code, the method comprising:
An electronic apparatus to protect source code, the electronic apparatus comprising:
A computer program product which includes a non-transitory computer readable medium storing a set of instructions which, when performed by a computerized device, cause the computerized device to:
