Abstract: The System Integrity Guardian can protect any type of object and repairs and restores the system back to its original state of integrity. The Client component is the user interface for administering the System Integrity Guardian environment. An administrator can determine which servers to protect, which objects to protect, and what actions will be taken when an event that breaches integrity occurs. The Monitor Agent component is the watchdog of the System Integrity Guardian that captures and addresses any event that occurs on any object being protected. The Server component includes the server and the Protected Object Central Repository. The authoritative copies are maintained, digital signatures are created and stored, objects are validated, and communication between the three units is performed.
