Binary code similarity detection (BCSD) has many applications, including patch analysis, plagiarism detection, malware detection, and vulnerability search etc. Existing solutions usually perform comparisons over specific syntactic features extracted from binary code, based on expert knowledge. They have either high performance overheads or low detection accuracy. Moreover, few solutions are suitable for detecting similarities between cross-version binaries, which may not only diverge in syntactic structures but also diverge slightly in semantics.
