What is Solaris Secure Execution?
Solaris Secure Execution prevents modified or unsigned code from running by verifying the integrity of the executable portion of almost all applications, drivers, and modules on a Solaris system. Sun provides customers with the tools to sign their own or third-party applications with no additional changes needed. Manual signature verification is available today in the Solaris 10 OS, with automatic runtime verification planned for an update release. This capability is unmatched in the industry as it is only available in Solaris 10.
