Bear: An Open-Source Virtual Secure Coprocessor based on TCPA
Wednesday, September 10th, 2003MacDonald, Smith, Marchesini, Wild (Dartmouth): Bear: An Open-Source Virtual Secure Coprocessor based on TCPA:
This paper reports on our ongoing project to use TCPA to transform a desktop Linux machine into a virtual secure coprocessor: more powerful but less secure than higher-end devices. We use TCPA hardware and modified boot loaders to protect fairly static components, such as a trusted kernel; we use an enforcer module—configured as Linux Security Module—to protected more dynamic system components; we use an encrypted loopback filesystem to protect highly dynamic components.
