Abstract

How to protect the sensitive information from unauthorized disclosure is one of the problems in computer security. In this paper we present a new method for preventing the sensitive file from unauthorized disclosure, security file management (SFM). SFM relies on dual-core technology, extensible firmware interface and trusted computing to provide a much high level of security than current solutions. All operations of sensitive files are run in trusted boundary. In this paper, we present the architecture of SFM, the initial designer and the security analysis.
