AI Technical Summary

Technical Problem

In multiprocessor systems, the measurement results from the processors need to be transferred to the TPM through the main processor, which poses a risk of tampering and results in insufficient security for trusted boot.

Method used

The processor performs authentication and key negotiation with the trusted component, uses the negotiated key to encrypt the measurement results, and forwards them to the trusted component through the main processor, ensuring that the measurement results cannot be viewed or tampered with during transmission.

Benefits of technology

It enhances the trusted boot security of multiprocessor systems, ensuring the integrity and reliability of measurement results from the processor during transmission and preventing interference from the main processor.

Abstract

The invention discloses a trusted starting method of a multiprocessor system, a trusted component and a chip, and relates to the field of chips. In the method, when the multiprocessor system is started, a slave processor performs identity authentication and key negotiation between a master processor and a trusted component, and after the identity authentication is passed and the key is negotiated, a measurement result of the slave processor encrypted based on the key is forwarded to the trusted component through the master processor. The slave processor and the trusted component are ensured to perform channel encryption on the basis of trying the identity of each other, the measurement result of the slave processor can be ensured not to be checked or tampered by the master processor in the transmission process, and the security of trusted startup of the system is improved.
