The invention provides a credible
database integrity protecting method and
system which are particularly but not just suitable for an
industrial control system. The method includes the steps that when sensitive data need integrity protection, whether the current
system environment conforms to the environment needed for sensitive
data integrity protection or not is checked through a credible measurement technology, and whether the
system environment is credible or not is checked similarly before an
integrity measurement signature is verified. A signature secret key for carrying out integrity
verification is protected by a hardware safety
chip in an encipherment mode, and therefore safety based on hardware is achieved. Finally, integrity
verification is achieved in a
middleware mode, and the normal operation efficiency of a system is ensured while integrity
verification of the sensitive data is ensured. Based on the credible
database integrity protecting method and system, the safe
database system for storing the sensitive data based on the safety
chip can be set up for the industrial control environment, the integrity protection intensity of the sensitive data in the safe database system is improved, and it is ensured that production plans, technological processes and other sensitive data are not tampered.
