5Trusted Computing Platform

5.1Introduction

To address the trust issues of software and their computing environments, Trusted Computing Group (TCG) first put forth the idea of trusted computing platform (TCP) [108], which can be concretized into a trusted personal computer, a trusted server and a trusted mobile device. The aim of TCP is to achieve the trustworthiness of system behaviors, that is, to ensure that behavior of software is consistent with the expectation in a given operating environment. The basic idea to build TCP is to introduce a security chip (TPM/TCM) as the root of trust on the hardware platform, then extend the trust boundary based on the security chip and finally change all or part of the general computing platforms into “trusted” ...
