Transitive Trust to Executables Generated During Runtime

Transitive trust is critical in trust computing technology. Transitive trust transits the system control to a second group of executable code based on its trustworthiness description, so as to build a trustworthy computing environment. The acquirement of trustworthy description of executable code is easy for static executables, but is almost impossible for dynamically generated codes (DGC) which software vendors do not carry any trustworthiness proof with the executables, and what´s more unfortunately, this is the status in quo. The paper tries to present an associated input based determination framework (AIBDF) in which the trustworthiness can be identified and determined by its associated intermediate codes. AIBDF is designed for present-day applications, though it might cause false positives, the change cost is low and it is more feasible and realistic compared to proof carrying code technologies.
