US 2014/0157427 A1 · APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR VERIFYING INTEGRITY OF FIRMWARE OF EMBEDDED SYSTEM

Abstract

An apparatus and method for verifying the integrity of firmware of an embedded system is provided. The apparatus for verifying the integrity of firmware of an embedded system includes a target integrity code obtainment unit for obtaining a target integrity code of firmware of the embedded system. A source integrity code obtainment unit obtains a source integrity code of source firmware. An integrity determination unit determines whether integrity of the firmware of the embedded system is maintained, by using the target integrity code and the source integrity code.
