Abstract
A system and method for providing attestation and/or integrity of a server execution environment are described. One or more parts of a server environment are selected for measurement. The one or more parts in a server execution environment are measured, and the measurements result in a unique fingerprint for each respective selected part. The unique fingerprints are aggregated by an aggregation function to create an aggregated value, which is determinative of running programs in the server environment. A measurement parameter may include the unique fingerprints, the aggregated value or a base system value and may be sent over a network interface to indicate the server environment status or state.
