Chapter 6. Integrity Recording, Reporting, and Secure Boot
In this chapter, the TPM mechanisms for recording and reporting integrity measurements are described (also referred to as TCPA authenticated boot), together with the TPM mechanisms that can be used to implement the related process of secure boot. Integrity measurement is one of the most important features in a trusted computing platform. Furthermore, it is a distinguishing feature of a TP, because ordinary platforms do not possess such a capability. Integrity measurements provide evidence of platform behavior. The host platform uses integrity measurements to provide Protected Storage (to prevent disclosure of secrets unless the platform is in the correct state). Third parties use the ...
