Abstract

See full text

A computer-implemented method for digitally signing executables with reputation information is disclosed. This method may include (1) receiving a request for a reputation certificate for an executable file, (2) identifying reputation information associated with the executable file, (3) generating a digitally signed reputation certificate for the executable file that includes at least the reputation information associated with the executable file, and then (4) providing the reputation certificate in response to the request. Additional computer-implemented methods for evaluating the trustworthiness of executable files based at least in part on reputation information contained within such digitally signed reputation certificates, along with corresponding systems and computer-readable media, are also disclosed.
