Abstract

A software verification method and apparatus are disclosed, applied to the cloud computing field and the communications field, and can be used to automatically verify whether an installation file of VNF software has been tampered with. The method includes: obtaining installation files of VNF software and signature files of the installation files, where the signature files of the installation files are used to store verification information of the installation files; verifying the installation files according to the signature files of the installation files; and determining, if the verification of the installation files succeeds, that the VNF software has not been tampered with.
