Abstract
In one embodiment, a computer system performs a method for accessing a trusted assembly from a virtualized location. A computer system detects receipt of a request to access an assembly. The address of the assembly is expressed in the request as a virtualized location. The computer system resolves the virtualized location to a physical location where the assembly is physically stored. The resolving includes accessing an information store that maintains the current physical location corresponding to the requested assembly's virtualized location. The computer system determines whether the requested assembly qualifies as a trusted assembly by verifying that the assembly sufficiently complies with information encoded within the assembly. Lastly, upon determining that the requested assembly is trusted, the computer system accesses the requested assembly from the physical location.
