A Novel Architecture for Trusted Computing on Public Endpoints

Any endpoint with network connection may be our workbench as new computing models like cloud computing arise. We've designed a protocol to establish the user's trust in public endpoints covering hardware, firmware as well as software components. Three parties are involved for trust establishment: the user with a chip (MTPCM) to actively measure the platform, the endpoint owners who offer the platforms allowing the mechanism of the user's active action; and the remote service providers with the functions of verification and feedback. The protocol is implemented based on a novel architecture.
