ABSTRACT="How to trust an application executed in a remote untrusted client? Indeed,
in an untrusted environment, an attacker may tamper with the application
code or the execution environment to alter the application behavior for its
own purposes. This problem is traditionally addressed by checking the
integrity of the application code at loading and during runtime. However,
this line of protection is not sufficient when the client is used as a
computation helper and is expected to return the result to a trusted
server. An attacker may execute the application without altering its code
but returns an invalid result. A software-based solution is a combination
of remote application integrity and remote application authentication
tech-niques. This paper presents a new approach to deal with
remote software execution in an untrusted client used as a computation
helper."
