Using TPM Secure Storage in Trusted High Availability Systems

Abstract
We consider the problem of providing trusted computing

functionality in high availability systems. We consider the case where

data is required to be encrypted with a TPM protected key. For redundancy,

and to facilitate high availability, the same TPM key is stored in

multiple computational units, each one ready to take over if the main

unit breaks down. This requires the TPM key to be migratable. We show

how such systems can be realized using the secure storage of the TPM.

Hundreds of millions TPM 1.2 chips have been shipped but with the recent

introduction of TPM 2.0, more manufacturers are expected to start

shipping this newer TPM. Thus, a migration from TPM... (More)
We consider the problem of providing trusted computing

how such systems can be realized using the secure storage of the TPM.

Hundreds of millions TPM 1.2 chips have been shipped but with the recent

introduction of TPM 2.0, more manufacturers are expected to start

shipping this newer TPM. Thus, a migration from TPM 1.2 to TPM 2.0

will likely be seen in the next few years. To address this issue, we also

provide an API that allows a smooth upgrade from TPM 1.2 to TPM

2.0 without having to redesign the communication protocol involving the

dierent entities. The API has been implemented for both TPM 1.2 and

TPM 2.0. (Less)
