Abstract: Computing devices are disclosed that include functionality for providing a trustworthy indication of software integrity. The computing devices include a hardware trust evaluation device capable of determining the trustworthiness of computer programs executing on the device. At least one trust indicator is also connected to the hardware trust evaluation device for providing an external indication of the trustworthiness of a computer program. If the hardware trust evaluation device determines that a program is trustworthy, the trust evaluation device causes the trust indicator to provide a positive indication of the trustworthiness of the computer program to a user of the computing device. If the hardware trust evaluation device determines that a program is not trustworthy, the trust evaluation device causes the trust indicator to provide a negative indication of the trustworthiness of the computer program.
