Abstract

This Application sets forth techniques for identifying when a vetted software application transitions into providing unauthorized features. In particular, the techniques involve identifying original operating characteristics of a software application during a vetting process that is performed by a management entity (and/or other vetting entities). The vetting process produces a vetted software application, which includes information about the original operating characteristics of the software application. The vetted software application is then distributed and installed onto computing devices. In turn, computing devices that execute the vetted software application can gather its current operating characteristics and compare them to the original operating characteristics to identify any anomalies. Appropriate action can then be taken, such as notifying the management entity and/or terminating the execution of the vetted software application.
