"Trusted Computing: how can we trust our devices?"

Abstract:
Trusted computing is a technology for securing systems that uses real-time trust engines to:
(a) attest to the integrity of the system,
(b) protect keys and stored data and
(c) support cryptographic mechanisms.

Key to the protection of the system is a trusted platform module (TPM), that acts as a root of trust for all security operations. After reviewing the literature for TPM technologies and implementations, we shall discuss how such technologies can be used to protect cyber-physical systems and in particular, critical infrastructures.

Mike Burmester is the Harris Professor of Computer Science at Florida State University, USA, since 2001, and director of the Center for Security and Assurance in IT (C-SAIT), an NSA/DHA Center of Academic Excellence in IA education (CAEIAE) and Research (CAR-R). Before that he was a Reader in the Information Security Group at Royal Holloway, University of London. He has worked in Information Security since 1989, with focus on cryptography. Mike Burmester is an editor of four Journals in Information Security, has organized several Workshops and Conferences, has two Books, five Book Chapters and over 120 journal and refereed conference publications covering a wide range of security topics including: privacy/anonymity, pervasive/ubiquitous network systems, lightweight cryptographic applications, RFIDs and sensor applications, trust management, and group key exchange.

Mike Burmester has taught Information Security courses both at undergraduate and graduate level. He was a co-developer of the European Intensive Program on Information & Communication Security (IPICS) in the Erasmus/Socrates program for MS students. He has supervised 6 doctoral students and numerous MS students. He is a member of the IEEE Computer Society, the International Association for Cryptological Research (IACR) and a Fellow of the Institute of Mathematics and its Applications (FIMA).
