Abstract
Methods, systems, and devices for authenticating software images are described. Software images may include different portions (e.g., different versions, different users) that may be authenticated using hashes associated with an underlying data structure of the portion of the software image. In some examples, hashes (e.g., first hashes) associated with the software image may be generated and stored using a tree structure, such that a previous hash may be used when calculating a hash associated with a new portion of the software image. To authenticate a portion of the software image, a command may be issued, and a second hash may be calculated using the current data structure of the software image. The second hash may be compared to the associated first hash, and the software image may be authenticated based on the hashes matching.
