US Patent 9892154 Verifying data structure consistency across computing environments

According to one aspect of the present disclosure, a method and technique for verifying data structure consistency across computing environments is disclosed. The method includes: generating a first signature for a data structure corresponding to a first computing environment; generating a second signature for the data structure corresponding to a second computing environment; comparing the first and second signatures; and responsive to a disparity between the first and second signatures, indicating a change to the data structure between the first and second computing environments.
