Abstract :
This paper presents the design and implementation of an integrity measurement system based on Windows trusted computing platform. The trust chain is established from the BIOS up to the application layer, where the executable codes are taken the load-time measurements before execution. And the measurement system can generate an integrity proof for TPM-based remote attestation. In order to accurately reflect runtime integrity of critical applications, a light weight Clark-Wilson model is introduced for verify information flow integrity guarantee. Our experimental system strengthens the security posture of the platform. With the analysis of the tradeoff between performance and security, our system gives great consideration to the impact which the measurements cause to system performance.
