Embodiment Construction

[0020] The invention discloses an embedded platform booting method based on a trusted mechanism, specifically: according to the architectural characteristics of the trusted system, the embedded platform and the TPM hardware module (wherein, the TPM hardware module includes trusted measurement root, trusted report root, and trusted storage root), and the initialization of the embedded platform uses a Bootloader with a trust chain structure that is improved on the basis of vivi (a kind of Bootloader). The Bootloader is solidified in in the platform's Flash memory. The TPM first starts from the startup of the system based on the trusted integrity measurement root, and performs integrity verification on the Bootloader, operating system, etc. to ensure that the software in the platform startup chain has not been tampered with, and then allows the CPU to read the Bootloader to start. Since the source code of the Bootloader is open, the credible Bootloader supports TPM to control ste...

Abstract

The invention discloses an embedded platform guide on a creditable mechanism, i. e.: placing the embedded platform and a TPM together, and using the TPM to support safety and creditability of the embedded platform; In accordance with the creditability completeness measuring roots and prior to running of the CPU of the embedded platform, the TPM carries out completeness verification for the Bootloader and the operation system which are stored in the embedded platform to ensure that the software executable codes in the platform startup chain is not modified, and then permits the CPU of the embedded platform to read the Bootloader for startup; and the TPM controls the startup process and measures completeness and reliability of the appointed external devices as well as initializes the external devices. The invention is used for completeness measuring of the Bootloader executed at the platform in accordance with the creditability chain structure, ensuring good completeness of the Bootloader, and realizing a reporting mechanism in a creditable environment with a TPM monitoring.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to an architecture for an embedded device to perform safety detection on external devices, especially storage type external devices, during the start-up phase. Background technique [0002] The traditional computer system has the following potential safety hazards: the computer software and hardware structure is simple, which leads to the arbitrary use of computer resources, especially the executable code can be modified, and malicious programs can be implanted; the virus program uses the computer operating system to execute code inconsistent Check for weaknesses, embed virus code into programs that execute code, achieve virus propagation, and more. Therefore, it is necessary to consider the transformation of the traditional computer software and hardware structure. [0003] TCG (Trust Computing Group, Trusted Computing Group) proposed the concepts of "trusted chain" and "trusted measurement", which include a series of trusted me...
