1. A method comprising:
- receiving a request from an application to load a first loadable object into memory;
calculating a first signature value for the first loadable object; and
loading the first loadable object into memory if the first signature value matches one of a plurality of signature values, each of the plurality of signature values being associated with a distinct loadable object.

Abstract
A method and apparatus for verifying loadable objects. A request is received from an application to load a first loadable object into memory. A first signature value is calculated for the first loadable object. The first loadable object is loaded into memory if the first signature value matches one of a plurality of signature values, each of the plurality of signature values being associated with a distinct loadable object.

15. A computing apparatus comprising:
-
a signature value generator to calculate a plurality of signature values, each of the plurality of signature values being calculated for one of a plurality of distinct loadable objects, and to store the plurality of signature values in a storage device; a comparator connected with the signature value generator, the comparator to compare a first signature value associated with a first loadable object to the plurality of signature values stored in the storage device; and a loader connected with a main memory and the comparator, the loader to receive a request to load the first loadable object into the main memory, and to load the first loadable object into the main memory if a first signature value associated with the first loadable object matches one of the plurality of signature values. - View Dependent Claims (16, 17, 18, 19, 20)
