Abstract
A computer system includes memory storing an operating system. An agent executive runs within the operating system. The agent executive receives an agent identity token from a grid computer system. The agent identity token includes a unique cryptographic key assigned to the agent executive. The agent executive collects information about the computer system for an evaluation of integrity of the agent executive, according to a plurality of agent self-verification factors. The agent executive encrypts the collected information using the cryptographic key and transmits the encrypted information to the grid computer system. The agent executive retrieves an encrypted set of commands from the grid computer system, which are selected by the grid computer system in response to the transmitted information. The agent executive decrypts the encrypted set of commands and executes, at the computer system, each command in the set of commands.
