1) Maintains a membership list
2) Maintains a list of software which is signed off on by members
3) Browser/OS/etc utilities which refuse and/or warn when trying to run software not in the registry
4) Member expulsion if registered software is found to be nefarious
This is basically the system Apple/Microsoft/Debian/etc/etc already use for official software distribution. We just need the organization to move out of their walled gardens.
The big leak here is users which have to use resources they don't control. I can imagine an IaaS company which won't run software unless its in the registry, and then companies can boast that your data is 'safe' (or at least not nefarious) because they run in this kind of environment.
