Patent number: 10430592Abstract: A computing device may perform integrity checks on a closed operating system defining a preconfigured user portion and a preconfigured system portion using an integrity checking module. The integrity checking module may access parameters associated with an object stored on the system portion of the operating system. Files on the system portion may be accessed by submitting a query that comprises a file name, a file directory, and at least one parameter to the system portion of the operating system. The integrity checking module may provide an indication of a potential compromise to the integrity of the computing device based on the integrity check. The integrity check may be performed periodically and/or aperiodically. Updated integrity values may be compared against previously determined integrity values to update the integrity check. The integrity checking module may perform the integrity check using a signature function or hashing function to generate the integrity values.Type: GrantFiled: May 24, 2018Date of Patent: October 1, 2019Assignee: Federal Reserve Bank of PhiladelphiaInventors: Bradley C.
