Abstract
When an executable file cannot be run on a client computer until the digital signature has been verified, the streaming server performs the verification if the entire file is not present on the client. More specifically, the client detects requests to verify digital signatures on executable files before allowing them to run. The client determines whether the entire executable file is present, and whether the server is trusted to verify digital signatures. If the entire file is not present locally and the server is trusted, the request to verify the digital signature is passed to the server. The server verifies the digital signature on its complete copy of the executable file, and returns the result to the client.
