Abstract
A computer-implemented method for determining the trustworthiness of a server may comprise: 1) identifying a streaming application that originates from a server, 2) determining a trust level for the server, and then 3) determining, based on the trust level, whether to stream the streaming application from the server. The trust level for the server may be determined by comparing current streams (or portions of current streams) received from the server with prior streams to detect change, by communicating with peer computing systems or reputation services, and/or by analyzing locally stored information. Corresponding systems and computer-readable media are also disclosed.
