he general purpose computer is not an ideal platform to run security
sensitive operations. Implementing security services on specialized
security hardware is not a cost-effective solution. The Trusted
Computing Group have developed a new industry specification which adds a
Trusted Computing Base to the general purpose PC with a fraction of the
cost of secure hardware. When the TCB is interfaced with the Operating
System, security enhanced applications and new security services can be
supported by the PC. Such services provide for data integrity, full
confidentiality of personal data and protection from unauthorized
disclosure. This presentation describes the main concept behind TCPA and
how it can be incorporated to an Open Source platform such as Linux.
Developing a prototype TCPA agent, has lead to identifying possible
problems and how TCPA enabled platforms can be of practical use in
today`s information technology.
