  • Publication number: 20240020360
    Abstract: The monitor unit starts an aggregating processing program in a normal world, inputs verification input data to an aggregating processing unit, and obtains normal output data. The monitor unit compares the secure output data with the normal output data. When the secure output data and the normal output data match each other, the monitor unit determines that the aggregating processing program has not been tampered with after the aggregating processing program is installed since the aggregating processing program and the aggregating processing program are identical. When the secure output data and the normal output data do not match each other, the monitor unit determines that the aggregating processing program has been tampered with after the aggregating processing program is installed since the aggregating processing program and the aggregating processing program are not identical.
