    摘要: Delivering a Direct Proof private key to a device installed in a client computer system in the field may be accomplished in a secure manner without requiring significant non-volatile storage in the device. A unique pseudo-random value is generated and stored in the device at manufacturing time. The pseudo-random value is used to generate a symmetric key for encrypting a data structure holding a Direct Proof private key and a private key digest associated with the device. The resulting-encrypted data structure is stored on a removable storage medium (such as a CD), and distributed to the owner of the client computer system. When the device is initialized on the client computer system, the system checks if a localized encrypted data structure is present in the system. If not, the system obtains the associated encrypted data structure from the removable storage medium. The device decrypts the encrypted data structure using a symmetric key regenerated from its stored pseudo-random value to obtain the Direct Proof private key. If the private key is valid, it may be used for subsequent authentication processing by the device in the client computer system.

    摘要: Apparatus and systems, as well as methods and articles, may operate to intercept a first request to use a platform configuration register (PCR) directed to a first trusted platform module (TPM) port, a second request to use the PCR directed to the first TPM port, or both, and to re-direct the first and second requests to use the PCR to a second TPM port capable of accessing a first virtual static platform configuration register (VS-PCR) set and a second VS-PCR set.

    摘要: In general, one embodiment of the invention features a method comprising operations performed internally within a device. A first operation involves generating data for permanent storage in a protected area of internal memory of the device. This prevents subsequent modification of the data. A second operation involves producing a secret value being a combination of both the data and a short term value generated in response to a periodic event such as a power-up sequence of a platform employing the device.
