摘要:
A virtual manufacturer authority is launched in a protected portion of a processing system. A key for the virtual manufacturer authority is created. The key is protected by a security coprocessor of the processing system, such as a trusted platform module (TPM). Also, the key is bound to a current state of the virtual manufacturer authority. A virtual security coprocessor is created in the processing system. A delegation request is transmitted from the processing system to an external processing system, such as a certificate authority (CA). After transmission of the delegation request, the key is used to attest to trustworthiness of the virtual security coprocessor. Other embodiments are described and claimed.
摘要:
Systems, methods and machine readable media for configuring virtual platform modules are disclosed. One method includes launching a virtual machine monitor, and determining, with the virtual machine monitor, whether a configuration policy that defines a configuration for a virtual trusted platform module is trusted. The method further includes configuring the virtual trusted platform module per the configuration policy in response to the virtual machine monitor determining that the configuration policy is trusted. The method also includes launching, via the virtual machine monitor, a virtual machine associated with the virtual trusted platform module.
摘要:
A method and a related apparatus provide a virtual trusted platform module (TPM). In an example embodiment, a virtual TPM service creates a virtual TPM for use in a processing system that contains a physical TPM. The virtual TPM service may store a key for the virtual TPM in the physical TPM. The virtual TPM service may then use the virtual TPM to provide emulated physical TPM features. In one embodiment, the virtual TPM service may use the virtual TPM to emulate a physical TPM for a virtual machine in the processing system. Other embodiments are described and claimed.
摘要:
The present subject matter related to trusted computing, and more particularly, to virtual trusted platform module keys rooted in a hardware trusted platform module. Some embodiments include a trusted platform virtualization module operable to capture virtual machine trusted platform module calls and operates to generate, maintain, and utilize hardware trusted platform module keys on behalf of the one or more virtual machines. Some embodiments include virtual trusted platform module keys having a public portion on top of an private portion including an encrypted hardware trusted platform module key.
摘要:
A method and apparatus for binding trusted platform module (TPM) keys to execution entities are described. In one embodiment, the method includes the receipt of an authorization request issued by an execution entity for authorization data. According to the authorization request, the execution entity may be measured to generate an entity digest value. Once the entity digest value is generated, a platform reference module may grant the authorization request if the entity digest value verifies that the execution entity is an owner of the key held by the TPM. Accordingly, in one embodiment, a platform reference module, rather than an execution entity, holds the authorization data required by a TPM to use a key owned by the execution entity and held within sealed storage by the TPM. Other embodiments are described and claimed.

A technique to enable secure application and data integrity within a computer system. In one embodiment, one or more secure enclaves are established in which an application and data may be stored and executed.
摘要:
An apparatus for sharing information between entities includes a processor and a trusted execution module executing on the processor. The trusted execution module is configured to receive first confidential information from a first client device associated with a first entity, seal the first confidential information within a trusted execution environment, receive second confidential information from a second client device associated with a second entity, seal the second confidential information within the trusted execution environment, and execute code within the trusted execution environment. The code is configured to compute a confidential result based upon the first confidential information and the second confidential information.

摘要:
The present subject matter is related to trusted computing, and more particularly to migration of virtual trusted platform module keys that are rooted in a hardware trusted platform module. Some embodiments include a trusted platform virtualization module that may perform one or more of inbound and outbound trusted platform module key migrations. Such migrations may be performed between a virtual trusted platform module and either a hardware or a virtual trusted platform module.
