ABSTRACT:
A trustable community for a computer system includes multiple software components that have security interdependence. A trustable community attempts to stop malware from compromising one software component within the community by conditioning operation of the software component upon a determination of present trustworthiness of itself and other software components within the community. Present trustworthiness may be determined through hash checks and application of community rules defining conditions under which software components are trustworthy.
