The security kernel isdivided into two parts and trusted mechanism Is separated from security functionality. Ihe TCBmodule implements the trusted mechanism such as measurement and attestation, while the othercomponents of security kernel provide security functionality based on these mechanisms. Thisarchitecture takes full advantage of functions provided by trusted platform and clearly defines thesecurity perimeter of TCB so as to assure stlf-securily from architcetmal vision. We also presentfunction description of TCB and discuss the strengths and limitations comparing with other relatedresearches.展开更多

But when intrusions occur, traditional quorum systems have some disadvantages. For example, synchronous quorum systems are subject to DOS attacks, while asynchronous quorum systems need a larger system size （at least 3f＋1 for generic data, and f fewer for self-verifying data）. In order to solve the problems above, an intrusion-tolerance quorum system （ITQS） of hybrid time model based on trust timely computing base is presented （TTCB）. The TTCB is a trust secure real-time component inside the server with a well defined interface and separated from the operation system. It is in the synchronous communication environment while the application layer in the server deals with read-write requests and executes update-copy protocols asynchronously. The architectural hybridization of synchrony and asynchrony can achieve the data consistency and availability correctly. We also build two kinds of ITQSes based on TTCB, i.e., the symmetrical and the asymmetrical TTCB quorum systems. In the performance evaluations, we show that TTCB quorum systems are of smaller size, lower load and higher availability.展开更多

Putting together the VMM architecture, TCG hardware and application-oriented ＂thin＂ virtual machine （VM）, Trusted VMM-based security architecture is present in this paper with the character of reduced and distributed trusted computing base （TCB）. It provides isolation and integrity guarantees based on which general security requirements can be satisfied.展开更多

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.展开更多

In the existing trusted platform module （TPM） key loading scheme for trusted platform, a computing platform with TPM as its trusted anchor, the total times of loading operation is the same as the number of the loaded target object＇s ancestors, resulting in low efficiency of loading a TPM key which has many ancestors. To improve efficiency, an identity-based TPM key loading scheme is proposed. In this scheme, the times of loading operation is only two when any TPM key is loaded into TPM. Therefore, the required time cost for loading a TPM key can be reduced, especially for complex TPM key storage hierarchy. By analyzing the correctness, security, efficiency and feasibility, the proposed scheme has the better theoretical and application value.展开更多
