Abstract

A modifiable server is utilized to reliably seal and unseal data according to a measurement of the server, by structuring the server to have a modifiable sandbox component for sealing, unsealing the data, and a non-modifiable checker component for enabling or disabling said sandbox component. The checker component determines whether the sandbox component complies with pre-determined standards. If the sandbox component is compliant, the checker component enables the sandbox component to seal and unseal the data using a measurement of the checker component. Otherwise, the checker component disables the sandbox component.
