Abstract: Signatures are generated for modules in a computer system. The signatures can be assembled into an integrity log. The signatures are compared with signatures in a database in an integrity validator. Once signatures are either validated or invalidated, a trust score can be generated. The trust score can then be used to determine whether the computer system should be granted access to a resource using a policy.

Abstract: A method and system for verifying the integrity of virtual machines and for verifying the integrity of discrete elements of the virtual machines throughout the lifecycle of the virtual machines. A virtual machine manager capable of managing one or more virtual machine images is installed on a physical hardware platform. An integrity verification component can be communicatively coupled to the virtual machine manager and an integrity reference component so that the integrity verification component can compare digests of the virtual machine image or discrete virtual machine image elements to virtual machine integrity records accessible from the integrity reference component.

Abstract: A router includes a management module and a routing module. The routing module can be used to route data around a network. The management module can be used to manage the operation of the routing module, including generating an integrity report for the router, which can be used to generate a trust report for the router. The trust report can include an integrity/trust score for the router. The management module can control the routing module via a secure control interface.
