Abstract
A method and system are disclosed. In one embodiment the method includes computing, during runtime, an active hash value of a hypervisor on a computer platform using an authenticated integrity agent. The method also includes comparing the active hash value to a registered hash reference value. The method also includes verifying the integrity of the hypervisor when the active hash value and the registered hash reference value match.
