  • Open Source TPM Support
    Open Source TPM support Open source application and support software for TPM is available for several operating systems like Linux, Android and in different programming languages supporting the following scenarios: - embedded Systems - servers - mobile communication and portable devices (e.g. tablet computer or smartphone) Open source implementations can also be ported to other platforms and processors and may be act as a starting point for the development of new applications. Some open source projects from the following list are supported by Infineon while other packages are separately developed by independent parties. The following list of Open Source software utilizing Trusted Computing and/or TPM software makes no claim to be complete and represents a limited number of projects: 1. Linux TPM Driver ( http://www.kernel.org ) Linux device driver for Trusted Platform Modules (TPM) in standard kernel (Vanilla). 2. I2C driver for TPM The driver is available on Linux kernel.org ( https://lkml.org/lkml/2011/7/22/137 ) 3. Trusted GRUB ( http://sourceforge.net/projects/trustedgrub ) Trusted GRUB extends the GRUB bootloader for Linux platforms with TPM support. This makes it possible to provide a secure Bootstrap architecture; Code is in general useful for initializing a Trusted Platform Module and execute integrity measurement based on Trusted Computing. 4. UBoot based on TPM with I2C ( http://git.chromium.org/gitweb/?p=chromiumos/third_party/u- boot.git;a=tree;f=drivers/tpm/slb9635_i2c;hb=chromeos-v2011.03 ) UBoot involving TPM using I2C interface. 5.

  • Enhancing Plug and Play Capabilities in Body Area Network Protocols
    Enhancing Plug and Play Capabilities in Body Area Network Protocols A Major Qualifying Project Report: Submitted to the Faculty Of the WORCESTER POLYTECHNIC INSTITUTE In partial fulfillment of the requirements for the Degree of Bachelor of Science By: ____________________________ Ryan Danas ____________________________ Douglas Lally ____________________________ Nathaniel Miller ____________________________ John Synnott Date: March 10, 2014 Approved: ____________________________ Prof. Krishna Kumar Venkatasubramanian, Advisor ____________________________ Prof. Craig A. Shue, Co-Advisor 1 Abstract This project aimed to create a plug-and-play protocol for Body Area Networks (BANs). This protocol enables communication between a diverse number of devices and a base station, regardless of equipment manufacturer. Previous BANs rely on either proprietary software, or protocols that are specialized to the physical device. This protocol takes a more universal approach, allowing any arbitrary device to participate in a BAN without introducing any significant overhead or running cost to the operation of that BAN. Unlike previous approaches, any existing motes and the base station will not have to be updated. Only new devices being added to the BAN will have to implement the protocol before connecting. Our protocol introduces overhead that reduced the performance and lifetime of the motes used in our BAN. 2 Table of Contents Contents Abstract ........................................................................................................................................................

  • TRUSTED COMPUTING GROUP (TCG) TIMELINE February 2011
    TRUSTED COMPUTING GROUP (TCG) TIMELINE February 2011 2003 Trusted Computing Group is announced with membership of 14 companies, including Promoters and board members AMD, Hewlett-Packard, IBM, Intel Corporation, Microsoft, Sony Corporation and Sun Microsystems, Inc. TCG structure and vision are created to enable extension of trusted computing beyond the PC into the enterprise. TCG adopts existing specifications for the Trusted Platform Module (TPM) security chip for clients and publishes as an open industry specification. 2004 TCG announces the Trusted Platform Module (TPM) specification 1.2. Manufacturers begin shipping a variety of enterprise desktop and notebook PCs equipped with TPMs and software to enable applications including data and file encryption, secure email, single sign-on, storage of certificates and passwords and other applications. Members begin participating in work groups to address security in mobile devices, storage, servers, peripherals and infrastructure requirements. TCG also announces the Trusted Network Connect (TNC) subgroup to work on an open specification for network access control and endpoint integrity and the addition of almost 30 new members to focus on the effort. Group starts to define requirements and use cases for an open specification. Membership expands to 98 companies by end of the year, with participation broadening beyond semiconductor and client companies to software developers, networking and storage companies. The group initiates an advisory council of leading IT, privacy, finance and security industry experts. The group also begins a liaison program with other industry standards groups and begins a mentoring program for those researchers and academic institutions doing research on trusted computing and related topics. 2005 The group expands its board of directors.

  • Timing Comparison of the Real-Time Operating Systems for Small Microcontrollers
    S S symmetry Article Timing Comparison of the Real-Time Operating Systems for Small Microcontrollers Ioan Ungurean 1,2 1 Faculty of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science; Stefan cel Mare University of Suceava, 720229 Suceava, Romania; [email protected] 2 MANSiD Integrated Center, Stefan cel Mare University, 720229 Suceava, Romania Received: 9 March 2020; Accepted: 1 April 2020; Published: 8 April 2020 Abstract: In automatic systems used in the control and monitoring of industrial processes, fieldbuses with specific real-time requirements are used. Often, the sensors are connected to these fieldbuses through embedded systems, which also have real-time features specific to the industrial environment in which it operates. The embedded operating systems are very important in the design and development of embedded systems. A distinct class of these operating systems is real-time operating systems (RTOSs) that can be used to develop embedded systems, which have hard and/or soft real-time requirements on small microcontrollers (MCUs). RTOSs offer the basic support for developing embedded systems with applicability in a wide range of fields such as data acquisition, internet of things, data compression, pattern recognition, diversity, similarity, symmetry, and so on. The RTOSs provide basic services for multitasking applications with deterministic behavior on MCUs. The services provided by the RTOSs are task management and inter-task synchronization and communication. The selection of the RTOS is very important in the development of the embedded system with real-time requirements and it must be based on the latency in the handling of the critical operations triggered by internal or external events, predictability/determinism in the execution of the RTOS primitives, license costs, and memory footprint.
