US Patent 9262597 Validating normalized code representations

A request that includes an indication of an execution context and data that represents executable code is obtained. An analysis of the data is initiated based on generating a first templatized representation of the executable code. A list of clearance indicators that indicate a blocking status associated with respective forms of templatized representations is accessed. A workflow policy is determined based on the accessing of the list of clearance indicators. The list of clearance indicators is updated, based on a result of the analysis of the data.
