This chapter introduces the major applications related to software similarity and classification. The applications include malware classification, software theft detection, plagiarism detection and code clone detection. The motivations for these applications are examined and an underlying theory is formalized. This theory is based on extracting signatures from programs, known as birthmarks, that are amenable to approximate matching that tells us how similar those programs are.
