Claim Text:
1. A method for verifying trust of at least one object defined in a database schema of a database before permitting access to the at least one object, the method comprising: verifying whether or not a digital signature associated with the at least one object defined in the database schema is valid using a hash of the at least one object defined in the database schema calculated based upon a type of the at least one object defined in the database schema; determining that the at least one object defined in the database schema has been tampered with if the digital signature of the at least one object defined in the database schema is determined to not be valid; and to protect a software application that uses the database from malicious content, denying access to the at least one object defined in the database schema based on a result of determination that the at least one object defined in the database schema has been tampered with.
