Trusted Platforms

What's the problem?
Defining provably enforceable policies on the use of data and processes, so that I can...

• ... be sure the platform I am using or interacting with will behave as I expect for my intended purpose
• ... use the same platform for personal and business purposes with reliable separation of concerns and policy enforcement
• ... outsource the running/management of critical business processes whilst retaining the assurance that my private data can not be accessed mistakenly or maliciously

What are we doing?

• Chair the Trusted Computing Group's (TGG) technical architecture group
• Extend the TCG concepts of Chain of Trust and Root of Trust to broader infrastructure components
• Research system invariants that will enable third parties to remotely trust system behaviour
• Trusted Linux, System Compartments and Boundaries
• Information Flow Control
