The answer is “Host software base-lining”. The answers which do not make any sense are TPM (Trusted Platform Module) and ROMDB verification.
RPM verify will validate a package installation. To do this, it will snapshot all the files, and compare the hashes with the hash after installation. It is doing a file snapshot collection, but it is more than that.
The final piece that ensures the answer is “Host software base-lining” is the note in the question that the results are saved to a separate server. This is the integrity check after installation of a software package. I.e., it is recording the host software baseline so future changes can be caught, or else it is taking a scan to verify that no unauthorized changes have been made since the baseline was made.

Thank you. I would have gone with snapshot but your explanation makes sense.

Thanks…All I found about “ROMdB” is “ROMdB Dev Tool”, which happens to be an Android appplication which “aims to make the communication process as secure and simple as possible.”
All sites give “ROMdB” , buty I agree that “A. Host software base-lining” makes much more sense
