Open_TC Open Trusted Computing

Integrated Project No. 027635Overview – August 2005

The Open_TC project receives research funding from the Community’s Sixth Framework Programme.

Open_TC Vision

• Create IT systems that are reliable and resilient to attacks to ensure private data protection and confidentiality

• Design and implementation of a layered system architecture with a Trusted Platform Module (TPM) at its core that is capable of hosting Linux or other operating systems in protected compartments acting as policy domains

• Development of an universal usable architecture and framework for trust and security and a platform including enabling technologies for complex heterogeneous communication and data processing networks

• Make trusted computing available as an open technology and allow everyone to use this technology (esp. trusted OS) within different systems and usage scenarios

• Increase privacy protection, improve the usability and enable trust and confidence in future information and communication technologies

• Derive new requirements how to evaluate SW from an Open Source development process

Open_TC Objectives

• Secure open source operating system– Develop a secure OS and related protocol and management software;– Trusted Booting and disc volume encryption; Implementation of virtualisation

layer; TSS stack for the TPM and first management SW for performing elementary TPM functionalities; General interfaces and control capabilities for intra- as well as inter-OS communication and external useable security APIs;

• Prototype applications– Proof-of-Concept for digital signing and verification; – Integration of TC into existing Public Key Infrastructures; – Attestation and zero knowledge authentication; – Develop Trusted WYSIWYS (What You See Is What you Sign);– Adapting the TC APIs (especially the TSS stack of the TPM) to other

programming languages;– Analysis of special requirements of mobile phone security sensitive platforms

and showing prototype security application;

• Distribution package (SUSE) for OPEN_TC functionalities– First version of a trusted Linux;– Quality analysis and security evaluation (CAL 5);

Open_TC Project

• Project Parameters – Duration: 3,5 years (October 2005 – March 2009)– Budget: M€ 17,1 Effort: 175 person years

• 23 Contractors – Covering the whole value chain for trusted computing– 7 industry partners, 3 SMEs, 13 universities and research institutes from 12

countries

• Links to standardisation– Trusted Operating Systems (TCG)– Trust enhanced processors (OMA)– W3C, OASIS, IETF, CEN, ISO, ETSI

• Feedback by independent Expert Reference Group– National security agencies (Germany, France, GB), – Users from the public (City of Vienna), and – the private sector (telecom provider)

• Cooperation with related initiatives in the EU, USA and Asia

Real-time Energy Management via Powerlines and Internet

NNE5-2001-00825

REMPLI

Page 8

REMPLI• Create infrastructure for energy management

– Data acquisition in soft real-time– Demand Side Management (customer side)– Load balancing (producer side)– Detection of leakage and theft– Automatic billing

• Technological base– Powerline communication (PLC) for

remote access to energy meters– Standard metering and application server

protocols

Page 9

REMPLILong-term Benefits

• Improvement of– Energy distribution– Planning and local control– Billing– Leakage and fraud detection

• Establishment of IT infrastructure– Connection to in-home networks– Add-on services (e.g., surveillance, domotics)– Improved customer relationship

Lessons learned

• Positive– Contacts with new partners – Access to technology and market – Additional funding for research and

implementation– In case of success next participation are easier

• Negative– Bureaucracy is increasing each time– Funding schemes are changing, rules are slide

and depend of individual interpretation– Most successive ate groups with well known

project coordinator (small and new groups have less chanses to succeed)
