Abstract
A method, computer program, signal transmission and apparatus for trusted verification of instructions in a module of a computer program first determine whether a suspect module to be loaded is from an untrusted source, such as on the internet. If from an untrusted source, the suspect module is loaded and one-module-at-a-time pre-verification is performed on the suspect module before linking. If the suspect module passes such pre-verification, the module is stored in a cache.
