Abstract:
Some embodiments provide a system that facilitates use of a computing device. During operation, the system obtains an event description of an event on the computing device. Next, the system computes a message authentication code (MAC) for the event description using a secure component associated with the computing device. Finally, the system uses the MAC to maintain the integrity of an event log containing the event description.
