Trusted Platform Module Basics: Using TPM in Embedded Systems

Description

* Clear, practical tutorial style text with real-world applications * First book on TPM for embedded designers Aimed particularly at embedded designers and developers, this new book provides a sound foundation on the TPM, helping them to take advantage of hardware security based on sound TCG standards. It covers all the TPM basics, discussing in detail the TPM Key Hierarchy and the Trusted Platform Module specification. The book presents a methodology to enable designers and developers to successfully integrate the TPM into an embedded design and verify the TPM's operation on a specific platform. The companion CD-ROM contains the full source code, which can be customized and used in embedded designs?an extremely useful tool and timesaver for embedded developers!
