Abstract: A method for detecting tampered program data comprising at least one program unit includes receiving a request for use of the at least one program unit, computing a first fingerprint over stored data associated with the at least one program unit and determining whether the stored data is valid based at least in part on whether the first fingerprint matches a second fingerprint. The second fingerprint is computed over the stored data prior to receiving the request for use of the at least one program unit.
