Trusted Computing Enabled System for Wireless Networks

While bringing great flexibility to us, wireless networks also make active intrusions to be carried out a lot more conveniently. It is mainly because of the loose linkage between the hardware and virtual identity. In this paper, we adopt Trusted computing (TC) technology with tamper-resistant hardware, to establish a trusted path for secure communication in wireless networks. We propose and design a TCG-compliant (trusted computing group) system and apply it to a mutual authentication scenario. In support of our work, we illustrate how TCG specifications features can be used to implement our approach in mobile environment.
