FossID Documentation

Blind Audit Scan

As a result of the previous step (Fingerprint collection), you should now have a file with extension .fossid that contains the collection of digital signatures of the target source code.

Create a normal scan and upload the .fossid file:

Blind Audit

The Workbench will automatically recognize that the uploaded file is a collection of fingerprints and, as a result, a Blind Audit will be performed. Once the scan is completed, the scan view for the Blind Audit will look like a normal scan, with the exception that the scanned source code is not present in the local content layout.

Blind Audit

All other functionality in scan view behaves normally, the user will be able to make identifications and generate reports as expected. Note that Copy to clipboard and Download the local file options are not available since the actual source code is not uploaded.

NOTE:

If the .fossid file do not produce scan results, please see Supported character encoding for guidance.
