DYNAMIC INTEGRITY VALIDATION OF A HIGH LEVEL OPERATING SYSTEM

Techniques for dynamically validating the integrity of a High Level Operating System (HLOS) stored on a data processing device are provided. The techniques include a method for execution on a data processing device including initiating a boot sequence on the data processing device, reading a code partition from a memory unit in the data processing device, such that the code partition is associated with a HLOS stored in the memory unit, performing a cryptographic function on the code partition, storing a result of the cryptographic function in a secure memory, continuing the boot sequence to load at least a portion of the HLOS into a non-secure memory unit, cryptographically signing the result of the cryptographic function stored in the secure memory unit, and sending the encrypted result of the cryptographic function to a remote server.
