Abstract
Trusted Computing (TC) can improve the security of various computing platforms. However, as new computing devices emerge and application scenarios increase, current trusted computing technology cannot satisfy various new demands. For example, mobile and embedded platforms may lack security components of trusted computing, users may need a portable trusted module[13] for multiple desktop machines, and users may hope to customize their own security features for new applications. This paper presents TEEM, a system that achieves these demands by designing a mobile-based portable TC module. TEEM is built on the general mobile devices of users, and its running environment can be protected by the secure features of embedded CPUs. For desktop machines, the mobile device with TEEM can act as a trusted computing module with USB bus. Finally, we have implemented TEEM using an ARM SoC platform and evaluated the performance of TEEM.
