Trusted Computing is a hardware-based technology that aims to guarantee security for machines beyond their users' control by providing security on computing hardware and software. TPM(Trusted Platform Module), the trusted platform specified by the Trusted Computing Group, acts as the roots for the trusted data storage and the trusted reporting of platform configuration. Data sealing encrypts secret data with a key and the platform's configuration at the time of encryption. In contrast to the traditional data sealing based on binary hash values of the platform configuration, a new approach called property-based data sealing was recently suggested. In this paper, we propose and analyze a new property-based data sealing protocol using the weakest precondition concept by Dijkstra. The proposed protocol resolves the problem of system updates by allowing sealed data to be unsealed at any configuration providing the required property. It assumes practically implementable trusted third parties only and protects platform's privacy when communicating. We demonstrate the proposed protocol's operability with any TPM chip by implementing and running the protocol on a software TPM emulator by Strasser. The proposed scheme can be deployed in PDAs and smart phones over wireless mobile networks as well as desktop PCs.

In this paper, we propose the TPS (TPM-enhanced Privacy Protection System) which is an automated privacy protection system enhanced with a TPM (Trusted Platform Module). The TPS detects documents including personal information by periodic scanning the disk of clients at regular intervals and encrypts them. Hence, system manages the encrypted documents in the server. In particular, the security of TPS was greatly enhanced by limiting the access of documents including the personal information with regard to the client in an abnormal state through the TPM-based platform verification mechanism of the client system. In addition, we proposed and implemented a VTF (Virtual Trusted File) interface to provide users with the almost identical user interface as general document access even though documents containing personal information are encrypted and stored on the remote server. Consequently, the TPS automates the compliance of the personal information protection acts without additional users' interventions.

Today's mobile devices have characteristic of random mobility in the heterogeneous networks. Thus they should have various kinds of security requirements. To satisfy these requirements, there are many researches on security and authentication for mobile devices. TCG(Trusted Computing Group) designed TPM(Trusted Platform Module) for providing privacy and authentication to users. Also TCG suggest a protocol, called DAA(Direct Anonymous Attestation) which uses zero knowledge proof theory. In this paper, we will implement DAA protocol using Java and show the efficiency and the problems in the DAA protocol. Finally, we will suggest an efficient mobile DAA model through Java test module for the DAA protocol.

Lately, there has been a notable surge in the defense industry's efforts to develop highly advanced intelligent systems. These systems encompass sophisticated computing platforms that boast an impressive level of autonomy. However, it's important to acknowledge that these very systems are not impervious to vulnerabilities stemming from both hardware and software tampering. Within the context of this discourse, our focus of the survey is directed towards the hardware security module. This component stands out for its capability to offer a significantly heightened level of protection when compared to conventional software-based techniques. Through the lens of this paper, we embark on a comprehensive survey of Trusted Platform Module (TPM), a hardware security module, shedding light on its potential to fortify the defense against threats that emerge from various vectors of attack.

In this paper, To improve the effectiveness of security enforcement, the first contribution in this work is that we present a clustered heterogeneous WSN(Wareless Sensor Network) architecture, composed of not only resource constrained sensor nodes, but also a number of more powerful high-end devices acting as cluster heads. Compared to sensor nodes, a high-end cluster head has higher computation capability, larger storage, longer power supply, and longer radio transmission range, and it thus does not suffer from the resource scarceness problem as much as a sensor node does. A distinct feature of our heterogeneous architecture is that cluster heads are equipped with TC(trusted computing) technology, and in particular a TCG(Trusted Computing Group) compliant TPM (Trusted Platform Module) is embedded into each cluster head. According the TCG specifications, TPM is a tamper-resistant, self-contained secure coprocessor, capable of performing cryptographic functions. A TPM attached to a host establishes a trusted computing platform that provides sealed storage, and measures and reports the integrity state of the platform.

COVID-19 pandemic outbreak increased the use of Internet of Medical Things (IoMT), but the existing IoMT solutions are not free from attacks. This paper proposes a secure and resilient framework for IoMT, it computes the risk using Risk Impact Parameters (RIP) and Risk is also calculated based upon the Threat Events in the Internet of Medical Things (IoMT). UICC (Universal Integrated Circuit Card) and TPM (Trusted Platform Module) are used to ensure security in IoMT. PILAR Risk Management Tool is used to perform qualitative and quantitative risk analysis. It is designed to support the risk management process along long periods, providing incremental analysis as the safeguards improve.

In a traditional Single Sign-On (SSO) scheme, the user and the Service Providers (SPs) have given their trust to the Identity Provider (IdP) or Authentication Service Provider (ASP) for the authentication and correct assertion. However, we still need a better solution for the local/native true SSO to gain user confidence, whereby the trusted entity must play the role of the ASP between distinct SPs. This technical gap has been filled by Trusted Computing (TC), where the remote attestation approach introduced by the Trusted Computing Group (TCG) is to attest whether the remote platform integrity is indeed trusted or not. In this paper, we demonstrate a Trustworthy Mutual Attestation (TMutualA) protocol as a proof of concept implementation for a local true SSO using the Integrity Measurement Architecture (IMA) with the Trusted Platform Module (TPM). In our proposed protocol, firstly, the user and SP platform integrity are checked (i.e., hardware and software integrity state verification) before allowing access to a protected resource sited at the SP and releasing a user authentication token to the SP. We evaluated the performance of the proposed TMutualA protocol, in particular, the client and server attestation time and the round trip of the mutual attestation time.

Default password protection used in operating systems have had many advances, but when the attacker has physical access to the server or gets root(administrator) privileges, the attacker can steal the password information(e.g. shadow file in Unix-like systems or SAM file in Windows), and using brute force and dictionary attacks can manage to obtain users' passwords. It is really difficult to obligate users to use complex passwords, so it is really common to find weak accounts to exploit. In this paper, we present a secure authentication scheme based on digital signatures and secure key storage that solves this problem, and explain the possible implementations using Trusted Platform Module(TPM). We also make a performance analysis of hardware and software TPMs inside implementations.

하둡 프레임워크는 현재 오픈소스 기반의 클라우드 인프라의 사실상 표준이다. 최초 하둡은 보안요소를 고려하지 않고 설계 되었지만 현재는 강력한 인증프로토콜인 커버로스를 사용하는 등의 보안 기능이 추가되었다. 하둡 보안은 꽤 안전해 보이지만, 클라우드 컴퓨팅의 범용적인 사용의 가장 중요한 요소는 보안인 것을 감안해보면 클라우드 제공자는 기존보다 더욱 강력한 보안 레벨을 고객에게 보장하여야 한다. 본 논문에서는 하둡 보안의 한계점을 제시하고 하드웨어 보안칩 TPM(Trusted Platform Module)을 이용한 해결방안을 제시한다.
