Trusted Platform Module
The Trusted Platfrom Module (TPM) Work Group has been chartered to create the TPM specification.The definition of the TPM architecture comes from the Technical Committee and the TPM Work Group defines the implementation of that architecture. A working knowledge of of security in relation to the design and usage of cryptographic modules as well as cryptographic techniques including public-key cryptography, cryptographic algorithms and protocols is recommended.
A new research report on "Trusted Computing" published by Aberdeen Group, a Harte-Hanks Company (NYSE:HHS), reveals that organizations that have deployed applications based on trusted computing infrastructure exhibit superior capabilities in security governance, risk management and compliance compared to other respondents. The term "trusted computing" refers to applications that leverage hardware-based "roots of trust" at the edge of the network and at the endpoints - sometimes referred to as "hardware anchors in a sea of untrusted software" - for higher assurance.
"Evil Maid" Attacks on Encrypted Hard Drives
"The real defense here is trusted boot, something Trusted Computing is supposed to enable...BitLocker...can prevent these sorts of attacks if the computer has a TPM module, version 1.2 or later, on the motherboard."
Five Great Reasons to Adopt Trusted Computing
Trusted Computing is perhaps one of the most misunderstood (willfully misunderstood, to be frank about it) emergent technologies for computer security.
Summary Of Features Under Consideration For The Next Generation Of TPM
This presentation provides a summary of features currently under consideration for the next generation of TPM specification. The summary of features covered in this presentation include: Cryptographic Algorithm Variability, Virtualized systems, Regularity, Performance, Robustness, Management and Ecosystem.
