Remote attestation mechanism of platform configuration based on dynamic Huffman tree
Yang Qiu-xiang · Journal of Computer Applications · 2012
In order to improve the efficiency of remote attestation for platform configuration,a method based on RAMT(Remote Attestation based on Merkle Hash Tree) was proposed which improved the approach to storing the Hash value of trusted entities by using a dynamic Huffman tree.And the relevant proof of verification efficiency was also given.From the point of view of data structures used for storing the integrity Hash value of the application software,the problems of the existing methods were analyzed.And detailed description about architecture,measurement and verification of RADHT(Remote Attestation based on a Dynamic Huffman Tree) was given.An example about integrity measurement algorithm was presented for the proposed mechanism.The ability in privacy protection and the efficiency of RADHT were discussed.Compared with RAMT,the probability of the integrity Hash value inquired and its update were considered.Results show the efficiency of the remote attestation is improved.
