Abstract
A system and method for verifying integrity of a system with multiple components includes a plurality of related object components that forms the software system, a signed binary description file manager that generates a signed binary description file (SBDF) to store verification and license information of the plurality of related object components, and a verification agent that verifies itself and the plurality of related object components. The manager associates unique identification (ID) names that represents the related object components with corresponding sets of component license information, and stores the associations in the signed binary description file. The verification agent retrieves license information pertinent to itself and each of the related object components utilizing the SBDF. The verification agent verifies the related object components after verifying its own integrity.
