ABSTRACT:
Identity of software is authenticated with hardware on a system. The hardware may be accessible to the operating system, making the mechanisms available to software makers. The identity of the software may be authenticated using fundamental properties of the software itself, providing greater security than merely relying on transferable identifiers, for example, keys.
