Abstract
Method and Apparatuses for determining integrity of a platform and notifying a remote system. In one embodiment a verification agent accesses a portion of a memory on the platform at initialization of the platform to determine if the data has been compromised or corrupted. The verification agent causes the information to be transmitted to a remote system. The verification agent may be local to the platform for which integrity is determined, and transmit the information to a remote administrator. Alternatively, the agent may access the platform over a bus or private channel, or a network connection and indicate information regarding the verification process to an entity remote to the tested platform.
