SECURING DEVICE ENVIRONMENT FOR TRUST PROVISIONING

摘要

Integrity management architecture is extended with trusted hash provisioning. The trusted hash provisioning ensures the integrity of a computing device. Thus, a multipurpose device can be as secure as a dedicated single-purpose device. The trusted hash provisioning includes determining a hash mask, and computing a trusted hash computation based on signatures of components identified as included within the scope of the hash. The computed trusted hash computation is used to determine integrity of the computing device.
