Trust Based Pervasive Computing

Pervasive computing environment is a distributed and mobile space. Trust relationship must be established and ensured between devices and the systems in the pervasive computing environment. The trusted computing （TC） technology introduced by trusted computing group is a distributed-system-wide approach to the provisions of integrity protection of resources. The TC＇s notion of trust and security can be described as conformed system behaviors of a platform environment such that the conformation can be attested to a remote challenger. In this paper the trust requirements in a pervasive/ubiquitous environment are analyzed. Then security schemes for the pervasive computing are proposed using primitives offered by TC technology.     

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.

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.

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.

Implementing Operating System Support for Extended Trusted Path in TPM-Capable Environments

Trusted path is one of the crucial features that operating systems must provide for fundamental security support. In order to explore the possibility of implementing a trusted path mechanism with the support of trusted platform module （TPM） technologies, and to support TPM capabilities in operating systems, the paper extended the scope of the conventional trusted path to cover the situation in which a user communicates with software residing on a remote host. The paper combined the concept of operating system support for trusted path with that for TPM platforms, and proposed the architecture of an extended trusted path mechanism in operating system with considerations on TPM-capable platforms support. As part of the author＇s research in secure operating systems, the work of the paper was carried out with Linux as an experimental prototype system. The research result shows that TPM capabilities can strengthen extended trusted path mechanisms of operating systems.

BBACIMA： A Trustworthy Integrity Measurement Architecture through Behavior-Based TPM Access Control

Two limitations of current integrity measurement architectures are pointed out： （1） a reference value is required for every measured entity to verify the system states, as is impractical however; （2） malicious user can forge proof of inexistent system states. This paper proposes a trustworthy integrity measurement architecture, BBACIMA, through enforcing behavior-based access control for trusted platform module （TPM）. BBACIMA introduces a TPM reference monitor （TPMRM） to ensure the trustworthiness of integrity measurement. TPMRM enforces behavior-based access control for the TPM and is isolated from other entities which may be malicious. TPMRM is the only entity manipulating TPM directly and all PCR （platform configuration register） operation requests must pass through the security check of it so that only trusted processes can do measurement and produce the proof of system states. Through these mechanisms malicious user can not enforce attack which is feasible in current measurement architectures.     

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.     

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.
