Abstract
Techniques for hashing and decompression of data are disclosed. Hashing and decompression of compressed data can be integrated in order to effectively hash and decompress the compressed data at the same time. The integrated hashing and decompression techniques of the invention are useful for any computing environment and/or system where compressed data is hashed and decompressed. The invention is especially useful for safe computing environment and/or system (e.g., a Trusted Computing (TC) computing environment) where hashing decompression of compressed data can be routinely performed. The Integrity of a computing environment and/or system can be protected by integrating the decompressing and hashing of the compressed data or effectively hashing and decompressing the compressed data at the same time. A combined hashing and decompression function can be provided based on conventional hashing and compression functions by integrating their similar components and in an efficient manner.
