SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR IMPLEMENTING CYBERSECURITY USING TRUST BINARIES

Abstract: the various implementations described herein include methods and devices for creating and using trust binaries. in one aspect, a method includes executing a trust agent and detecting, via the trust agent, upcoming execution of a program. in response to the detection, a trust binary for the program is obtained from a trust store and authenticity of the program is confirmed by comparing executable code of the program with the obtained trust binary. execution of the program is allowed in accordance with the confirmed authenticity. the method also includes identifying upcoming execution of a function in the program by monitoring execution of the program and obtaining, from the trust binary, a function digest corresponding to the function. authenticity of the function is confirmed by comparing executable code of the function with the obtained function digest. execution of the function is allowed in accordance with the confirmed authenticity.
