Abstract :
ldquoParticipatory sensingrdquo is an exciting new paradigm where people voluntarily sense their local environment and share this data using mobile phones and the Internet. It can revolutionize applications such as intelligent transportation, public health and social networking. However, a major concern is the amount of trust that can be placed in the shared data. We address this concern in our demonstration by using a trusted platform module (TPM) in conjunction with a smart phone. The TPM is responsible for attesting the application on the phone to assure remote entities that the application has not been tampered with. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first demonstration of application attestation on a smart phone employing a TPM.
