DATA MODIFICATION DETECTION

Abstract

Techniques for data modification detection are disclosed. Descriptive information, including a resource identifier and a set of descriptive elements having a schema of representation, is received from a resource. Further, elementary information, including at least one of elementary resource identifier and set of elementary descriptors having an elementary schema of representation, corresponding to the resource is retrieved from a resource inventory database. A preliminary assessment is performed to assess similarity between the schema of representation and the elementary schema of representation. If the schemas are ascertained to be similar, a subsequent check is then performed to deduce a similarity between the set of descriptive elements and the set of elementary descriptors. Based on the subsequent assessment, an information-variance signal is generated to trigger rendering of an indication to indicate a probable modification of the set of descriptive elements in comparison with the set of elementary descriptors.
