 ed Witness Cosigning\, by E. Syta\, et al.Abstract\nSoftware update system
 s are the crucial part of computer environment that enables the addition o
 f new features and reduction of vulnerabilities. At the same time\, it is 
 a highly attractive target for adversaries because incorporating malware i
 nto one such system may potentially lead to infecting thousands of end use
 rs. In this proposal\, we study approaches for the enhancement of software
  update process by responsibility separation and delegations\, decentraliz
 ing trust\, and application transparency.
