Abstract

A system for establishing and maintaining a bi-directional chain of trust includes a root of trust (RoT) executing a root trusted server that can establish a trusted relationship between the RoT and a given node, and monitor the given node to ensure that the given node executes trusted operations and to ensure that authenticated code and static data for the given node are unchanged. The given node can include a trusted server that can monitor another node to ensure that the other node executes trusted operations and to ensure that authenticated code and static data for the other node are unchanged. The other node can include a trusted server that can monitor the given node to ensure that the given node executes trusted operations and to ensure that the authenticated code and static data for the given node are unchanged based on maintenance information received for the given node.
