Problems solved by technology

Register mapping like traditional input / output (I / O) mapped registers is undesirable as devices on the same interface as tokens can be programmed to map to the same I / O address, compromising token security

Abstract

A method and apparatus to communicate with a token using a previously reserved binary number in the start field of a cycle, wherein the cycle is not echoed on any bus other than the bus through whichthe communication is received.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to computer security, and more particularly to methods and apparatus for securely communicating with tokens. Background technique [0002] In the Trusted Platform Computing Alliance's (TPCA) master specification (version 1.1a, December 1, 2001), TPCA describes a Trusted Platform Module (TPM) or provides improved trustworthiness and enhances existing services and tokens for new services. The token enables auditing and logging of software processes, platform boot integrity, file integrity, and software licensing. Tokens provide a protected store of information for a platform (such as a personal computer) and can be used to verify the identity of the platform as defined by the hardware (such as processor, chipset, firmware, etc.) present in the platform. The security features of the token will encourage third parties to allow the platform access to information that would otherwise be denied. [0003] The token contains an ...
