The purpose of +this paper is to discuss the work that we have +done to enable Linux users to make use of +their Trusted Platform Module (TPM) in a +non-evil manner. The paper describes the +individual software components which are +required to enable the use of the TPM, +including the TPM device driver and TrouSerS, +the Trusted Software Stack, and TPM +management. Key concerns with Trusted +Computing are highlighted along with what the +Trusted Computing Group has done and what +individual TPM owners can do to mitigate these +concerns. Example beneficial uses for +individuals and enterprises are discussed +including eCryptfs and GnuPG usage of the TPM. +There is a tremendous opportunity for enhanced +security through enabling projects to use the +TPM so we discuss what we see as the most +promising avenues. + + |
