Abstract
A verification apparatus for a mobile platform for remotely verifying the integrity of a device that is connected to a network and has a shared private key includes a verifying unit that determines whether the device shares a private key with the verification apparatus by checking whether the authentication code generated by the verification apparatus matches the authentication code generated by the device; a calculating unit that generates a local check code that verifies the integrity of the memory; an interface unit that transmits, to the device, the information that the verification apparatus uses to generate an authentication code and the integrity check parameter used to generate a remote check code, and receives the authentication code and the remote check code from the device; and a determining unit that verifies the integrity of the memory if the local check code matches the remote check code.
