Trustworthiness Technologies of DDSS

The most significant strategic development in information technology over the past years has been ＂trusted computing＂ and trusted computers have been produced. In this paper trusted mechanisms adopted by PC is imported into distributed system, such as chain of trust, trusted root and so on. Based on distributed database server system （DDSS）, a novel model of trusted distributed database server system （TDDSS） is presented ultimately. In TDDSS role-based access control, two-level of logs and other technologies are adopted to ensure the trustworthiness of the system.     

Design and Implementation of a Bootstrap Trust Chain

The chain of trust in bootstrap process is the basis of whole system trust in the trusted computing group （TCG） definition. This paper presents a design and implementation of a bootstrap trust chain in PC based on the Windows and today＇s commodity hardware, merely depends on availability of an embedded security module （ESM）. ESM and security enhanced BIOS is the root of trust, PMBR （Pre-MBR） checks the integrity of boot data and Windows kernel, which is a checking agent stored in ESM. In the end, the paper analyzed the mathematic expression of the chain of trust and the runtime performance compared with the common booring process. The trust chain bootstrap greatly strengthens the security of personal computer system, and affects the runtime performance with only adding about 12% booting time.     

An Improved Grid Security Infrastructure by Trusted Computing

Current delegation mechanism of grid security infrastructure （GSI） can＇t satisfy the requirement of dynamic, distributed and practical security in grid virtual organization. To improve this situation, a TC-enabled GSI is discussed in this paper. With TC-enabled GSI, a practical delegation solution is proposed in this paper through enforcing fine granularity policy over distributed platforms with the emerging trusted computing technologies. Here trusted platform module is treated as a tamper-resistance module to improve grid security infrastructure. With the implement of Project Daonity, it is demonstrated that the solution could gain dynamic and distributed security in grid environment.     

Architecture of Trusted PC

This paper, focusing on the trusted computing group＇s standards, explained the key concept of trusted compuling and provided the architecture of trusted PC. It built trust bottom-up by starting with trusted hardware and adding layers of trusted software. It is a system-level solution available to all applications running on the member platforms. This solution reduces the security burden on applications and thus simplifies application programming.     

Efficient and secure multi-signature scheme based on trusted computing

A new multi-signature scheme was proposed with the extension of the direct anonymous attestation (DAA) protocol supported by trusted computing (TC) technology. Analysis and simulation results show that the signer’s privacy is well protected with dynamic anonymity, the public key and signatures have length independent of the number of signature members, new signers are allowed to join the signature without modifying the public key, and attacks caused by secret key dumping or leaking can be avoided.

The theory and practice in the evolution of trusted computing

Trusted computing （TC） is an emerging tech- nology to enhance the security of various computing plat- forms by a dedicated secure chip （TPM/TCM）, which is widely accepted by both the industrial and academic world. This paper attempts to sketch the evolution of TC from the view of our theoretical and engineering work. In theory, we focus on protocol design and security analysis. We have proposed the first ECDAA protocol scheme based on q-SDH assumption, which highlights a new way to design direct anonymous attestation scheme. In technical evolu- tion, we discuss the key technologies of trust chain, trusted network connection and TC testing and evaluation. We break through several key technologies such as trusted boot, OS measurement and remote attestation, and imple- ment a TC system from TPM/TCM to network. We also design and implement a testing and evaluation system of TC platform, which is the first one put into practical application in China. Finally, with the rapid development of cloud computing and mobile applications, TC is moving toward some new directions, such as the trust in cloud and mobile environments, new TPM standard, and flexible trust execution environment trust establishment method.     

A Method to Implement Full Anonymous Attestation for Trusted Computing Platform

Trusted computing （TC） technology is brought out by trusted computing group （TCG） to make computing as safe and reliable as people expect. Attestation is one main function specified by TCG, which is the means by which a trusted computer assures a remote computer whose platform is not tampered with. There are two protocols that implement attestation without disclosing the platform＇s real identity, which are Privacy CA-based protocol and direct anonymous attestation （DAA） protocol. However, in the first protocol the privacy CA is the bottleneck and the platform＇s identity will be disclosed if the privacy CA is compromise, while DAA protocol can do profiling when dealing with rogue hardware device. In this paper, we propose a DAA-extended new approach to ensure full anonymous attestation that can not only detect a rogue TPM, but also reveal rogue TPM＇s real identity.     

Study on security enhancement technology for disaster tolerant system

This paper proposes a security enhancement scheme for disaster tolerant system based on trusted computing technology which combines with the idea of distributed threshold storage. This scheme takes advantage of trusted computing platform with trusted computing module, which is provided with such excellent features as security storage, remote attestation, and so on. Those features effectively ensure trustworthiness of disaster tolerant point. Furthermore, distributed storage based on Erasure code not only disposes the storage problem about a great deal of data, but also preferably avoids one node invalidation, alleviates network load and deals with joint cheat and many other security problems. Consequently, those security enhancement technologies provide mass data with global security protection during the course of disaster tolerance.

Analysis and Application for Integrity Model on Trusted Platform

To build a trusted platform based on Trusted Computing Platform Alliance (TCPA)‘s recommendation, we analyze the integrity mechanism for such a PC platform in this paper. By combinning access control model with information flow model, we put forward a combined process-based lattice model to enforce security. This model creates a trust chain by which we can manage a series of processes from a core root of trust module to some other application modules. In the model,once the trust chain is created and managed correctly,the integrity of the computer‘s hardware and sofware has been mainfained, so does the confidentiality and authenticity. Moreover, a relevant implementation of the model is explained.     

TPM context manager and dynamic configuration management for trusted virtualization platform

It is absolutely critical that trusted configuration management which significantly affects trust chain establishment, sealing storage and remote attestation, especially in trusted virtualization platform like Xen whose system configuration changes easily. TPM （trusted platform module） context manager is presented to carry out dynamic configuration management for virtual machine. It manages the TPM command requests and VM （virtual machine） configurations. The dynamic configuration representa- tion method based on Merkle hash tree is explicitly proposed against TCG （trusted computing group） static configuration representation. It reflects the true VM status in real time even if the configuration has changed, and it eliminates the invalidation of configuration representation, sealing storage and remote attestation. TPM context manager supports TCG storage protection, remote attestation etc, which greatly enhances the security on trusted virtualization platform.     

A Peer-to-Peer resource sharing scheme using trusted computing technology

Facing the increasing security issues in P2P networks, a scheme for resource sharing using trusted computing technologies is proposed in this paper. We advance a RS-UCON model with decision continuity and attribute mutability to control the usage process and an architecture to illustrate how TC technologies support policy enforcement with bidirectional attestation. The properties required for attestation should include not only integrity measurement value of platform and related application, but also reputation of users and access history, in order to avoid the limitation of the existing approaches. To make a permission, it is required to evaluate both the authorization and conditions of the subject and the object in resource usage to ensure trustable resources to be transferred to trusted users and platform.
