Forming virtualized test bed for Trusted Platform Module in Windows environment

The remarkable growth in usage of Trusted Platform Module (TPM) nowadays leads researchers to build various test bed to perform the emulation of TPM hardware which can reduce physical devices needed to perform research involving TPM implementation. Current test bed formations are more focusing on using UNIX as the platform such as Linux. This is due to the flexibility and openness of the UNIX based platform itself. Even though UNIX is flexible, Microsoft Windows is still the preferred Operating System (OS) in the world. Due to its popularity, there is a rapid shift in security threats towards Windows platform every day. In this paper, we explore an approach to form a virtualized test bed for TPM implementation using TPM Emulator in Windows. This paper mainly focuses on forming an improved virtualized test bed in Windows while preserve required components to build a working test bed for TPM implementation.
