Abstract
A system-implemented (e.g., computer-implemented) method for generating a set of hashes representing known-good state sequences, in accordance with one aspect of the present invention, includes determining, a priori, all known-good state sequences of a system. Valid paths for the determined known-good state sequences are enumerated by constructing history-incorporating aggregate hashes that represent the states along the paths, whereby the resulting set of hashes represents all valid states as the system traverse through the known-good sequences. The history-incorporating aggregate hashes are stored. A state-advancing call is received from the system, and in response to receiving the call, the stored history-incorporating aggregate hashes are sent to the system.
