Abstract
A client apparatus for utilizing services by executing service programs includes a policy holding unit, a verification unit, a verification result holding unit, and a verification result notification unit. The policy holding unit holds a service-specific verification policy pre-checked by a device verification apparatus. The verification unit verifies an operation and configuration of the client apparatus itself by using the verification policy when the service program is executed. The verification result notification unit notifies the verification result to the device verification apparatus, which requests the verification result.
Claims13
A client apparatus for utilizing services by executing a provided service program, the client apparatus, comprising:
- a policy holding unit configured to hold a service-specific verification policy pre-checked by a device verification apparatus;
- a verification unit configured to verify an operation of the client apparatus itself by using the verification policy when the service program is executed;
- a verification result holding unit configured to hold a verification result of the verification unit;
- and
- a verification result notification unit configured to notify the verification result to the device verification apparatus which requests the verification result.
A device verification apparatus comprising:
- a policy holding unit configured to hold a verification policy corresponding to a service program;
- a policy verification unit configured to check security of the verification policy;
- a policy deployment unit configured to deploy the verification policy pre-checked by the policy verification unit according to a request of a client apparatus which executes the service program;
- and
- a verification result holding unit configured to hold a verification result obtained from the client apparatus which checks its own operation by using the verification policy when the service program is executed.
A verification method for verifying a client apparatus for utilizing services by executing service programs, the verification method, comprising:
- checking security of the verification policy corresponding to the service program;
- deploying the verification policy, which is pre-checked by the checking step, in a client apparatus which executes the service program;
- checking an operation of the client apparatus itself by using the verification policy when the service program is executed;
- and
- notifying the verification result to a device verification apparatus which requests the verification result.
