How can I know that the image that a new instance is spawned from - is actually the image that was originally registered in glance - and has not been maliciously tampered with in some way?

Is there some kind of verification that is performed against the md5sum of the registered image in glance before a new instance is spawned?

Is that done by Nova?
Glance?
Both? Neither?

The reason I ask is some 'paranoid' security (that is their job I suppose) people have raised these questions.

I know there is a glance BP already merged for L [1] - but I would like to understand the actual flow in a bit more detail.

Thanks.
