System and method for supporting cross-platform data verification

Abstract:

A trust verification system for automatically verify an integrity of an object across multiple operating system (OS) platforms. The trust verification system features package verification logic, catalog verification logic, and component verification logic. The package verification logic recovers, from an incoming package, (i) an object, (ii) a catalog including identifiers associated with software component(s) forming the object and representation(s) associated with each of the software component(s), and (iii) a representation of the catalog. The catalog verification logic is configured to verify an integrity of the catalog while the component verification logic is configured to verify an integrity of software component(s) associated with the object. Thereafter, the package verification logic verifies an integrity of the object associated with the incoming package in response to the catalog verification logic verifying the integrity of the catalog and the component verification logic verifying the integrity of the software component(s).
