Over the last few months, I have been very busy with other projects, and so I couldn't follow the TC discussions very closely. But I hope this will change over the next few weeks. I have already added some more citations to the list of TC-related literature below. Until I have more time to comment on these issues, I just wanted to mention some interesting developments that occurred over the last few months:
- Seth Schoen has proposed to use "hard-to-verify signatures" to overcome some of the policy problems related to remote attestation. This proposal may have its own drawbacks, but it is definitely interesting to read the discussions over at Seth's blog (here, here, here and here) as well as the comments by Unlimited Freedom over here and the discussion thread on the cryptography mailing list.
- The EFF has published some comments on TCG Design, Implementation and Usage Principles (also written by Seth Schoen).
- A team under Sean Smith at Dartmouth has created an open source TSS implementation (thanks to John Erickson for this hint). For more information, click here.
I'll comment on these and other developments over the next 2-3 weeks.
