An integrated architecture for trusted computing for java enabled embedded devices
Kurt Dietrich · 2007
This paper presents a concept for enhancing mobile and embedded devices with trusted computing (TC)technology. It outlines a new architecture focusing on SUN's J2ME platform, including the design for a Mobile Trusted Module (MTM) to be used as a trusted computing base. The proposed architecture combines all software components required for accessing an MTM and shows how TC functionality can be provided for mobile applications. Moreover, different deployment scenarios of the architecture and its components are discussed. In order to prove that an implementation of the concept is feasible, a prototype of the architecture has been developed. For the design of the new architecture, special attention was turned to reusing currently existing technology and hardware rather than designing new hardware. By using already existing components, this paper also gives an answer to the question of how a mobile trusted-computing-enhanced system could be implemented with currently available technology
