Abstract
A measurement engine generates an integrity manifest for a software program and uses it to perform active platform observation. The integrity manifest indicates an integrity check value for a section of the program's code. The measurement engine computes a comparison value on the program's image in memory and determines if the comparison value matches the expected integrity check value. If the values do not match, the program's image is determined to be modified, and appropriate remedial action may be triggered.
