  • Patent number: 9450966
    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.
