Abstract
A computer system may be employed to verify program execution integrity by receiving a request to launch a program that has been instrumented to include at least one integrity marker, instantiating the program with an integrity marker value, and verifying the execution integrity of the program based on the integrity marker value and information received from the program during execution. A computer system may also be employed for program instrumentation by modifying the program to include at least one instruction for passing an integrity marker value to an operating system kernel during execution of the instruction.
