Mobile terminal security is a relatively new field that is gathering momentum in the wake of rapid advancements in phone system technology, mobile phones are now becoming sophisticated smart phones that provide functions beyond basic voice service. While enjoying the colorful functions and services provided by the mobile terminals, people face the increasing security threats. By analyzing the deficiencies of trust transfer in current mobile platform, this paper proposes a new trust chain model for mobile terminals, which can not only satisfy the safety requirements, but also reduce the calculation complexity during system boot-up. At the end of this paper, the theory and test analysis show that the new trust chain model can resolve the security problem of confidence decrease and enhance platform reliability more efficiently.
