Abstract:
Techniques are described herein that are capable of providing security for code between a code generator and a compiler. The code generator generates source code. The code generator generates a first checksum of a file that includes the source code. The code generator provides the first checksum to the compiler via a secure channel. The compiler generates a second checksum of the file that includes the source code. The compiler determines whether to compile the source code based at least in part on whether the first checksum and the second checksum are the same. The first checksum and the second checksum being the same indicates that the source code is to be compiled. The first checksum and the second checksum being different indicates that the source code is not to be compiled.
