Abstract
A computer implemented method for validating software is provided. The method includes generating a first check value, by a remote computing device, based on a unique value and software of the remote computing device, outputting the first check value and the unique value from the remote computing device to a secure data repository, obtaining, by a secure computing device, an authentic copy of the software of the remote computing device, obtaining, by the secure computing device, the unique value and the first check value from the secure data repository, computing, by the secure computing device, a second check value based on the authentic copy of the software for the remote computing device and the unique value, and determining, by the secure computing device, whether the remote computing device has authentic software based on a comparison of the obtained first check value and the second check value.
