Trusted Computing Platforms: TCPA Technology in Context

Front Cover
Prentice Hall Professional, 2003 - Computers - 322 pages
The TCPA 1.0 specification finally makes it possible to build low-cost computing platforms on a rock-solid foundation of trust. In Trusted Computing Platforms, leaders of the TCPA initiative place it in context, offering essential guidance for every systems developer and decision-maker. They explain what trusted computing platforms are, how they work, what applications they enable, and how TCPA can be used to protect data, software environments, and user privacy alike.

Page 290 - Authentication is a service that is concerned with assuring that the origin of a message is correctly identified. That is, information delivered over a channel should be authenticated as to the origin, date of origin, data content, time sent, etc. For these reasons this service is subdivided into two major classes: entity authentication and data origin authentication. Notice that the second class of authentication implicitly provides data integrity. • Non-repudiation is a service that...‎
Page 31 - CAs enables the owner to control traceability from an attestation's identity to the certificates that attest to a specific TPM and a specific platform. Identities can only be correlated with other identities by the CA that certifies these identities, and the owner has sole choice of that CA. So the owner can choose a CA whose policy is not to correlate identities or whose policy is to correlate identities, according to the wishes of the owner. Different identities are used for different purposes,...‎
Page 290 - In all these cases, the quantities generated must be of sufficient size and be random in the sense that the probability of any particular value being selected must be sufficiently small to preclude an adversary from gaining advantage through optimizing a search strategy based on such probability.‎
Page 41 - An entity can be trusted if it always behaves in the expected manner for the intended purpose.‎
