  3. Problem Statement Migration of network core functionality to the cloud introduces new security vulnerabilities due to loss of the security provided by the physical protection and isolation of traditional network systems When moving functionality to the Cloud, scalable security controls and tools to provide MNO/enterprise with trust and assurance that their data and computing will remain private and uncompromised do not exist There is a need for explicit and verifiable ways of protecting software components (guest OS, applications/library code and data) that reside in the Cloud (a virtual machine or a container) Trust in computing platform (boot, runtime, crash, and storage integrity) as well as security automation have to be defined and standardized to ensure interoperability

  4. Foundation of Trust Trust is the belief that a person or system will behave predictably, even under stress It is based on experience and/or evidence It is based on fundamental properties (identity, integrity) It is easy to lose and hard to regain A trusted system is predictable, even under stress trusted based on experience and/or evidence based on fundamental properties (identity, integrity)

  5. TCG Trusted Computing Group TCG is one of the principal standards bodies focused on trusted computing standards and platform integrity TPM 1.2 and TPM 2.0 specs are ISO 11889:2009/2015 and are implemented in more than two billion devices Servers, PCs, tablets, smartphones, printers, kiosks, industrial systems, and many embedded systems Trusted Computing includes more than secure boot Security Automation Secure Cloud Secure Storage Secure Mobile Devices Secure Legacy Devices 5

  6. TCG Trusted Computing Group The Trusted Computing Group (TCG) is a not-for- profit organization formed to develop, define and promote open, vendor-neutral, global industry standards, supportive of a hardware-based root of trust, for interoperable trusted computing platforms.

  11. Trusted Platform Module (TPM) Trusted Platform Module offers facilities for the secure generation of cryptographic keys, and limitation of their use, in addition to a random number generator. It also includes capabilities such as remote attestation and sealed storage, as follows: Remote attestation creates a nearly unforgeable hash summary of the hardware and software configuration. The program hashing the configuration data determines the extent of the summary of the software. This allows a third party to verify that the software has not been changed. Binding encrypts data using TPM bind key, a unique RSA key descended from a storage key. Sealing encrypts data in a similar manner to binding, but in addition specifies a state in which TPM must be in order for the data to be decrypted (unsealed). Software can use a Trusted Platform Module to authenticate hardware devices. Since each TPM chip has a unique and secret RSA key burned in as it is produced, it is capable of performing platform authentication. TPM components (figure by Guillaume Piolle).

  14. Trusted Network Connect attestation and security automation Trusted Network Connect (TNC) network security architecture and open standards enable intelligent policy decisions, dynamic security enforcement, and communication between security systems. TNC provides pervasive security, Network Access Control (NAC) and interoperability in multi-vendor environments. IETF "Posture Attribute (PA) Protocol Compatible with Trusted Network Connect" (PA-TNC) defined by RFC 5792 IETF "Posture Broker (PB) Protocol Compatible with Trusted Network Connect" (PB-TNC) defined by RFC 5793. Both RFCs are part of the IETF's "Network Endpoint Assessment" (NEA) framework defined by RFC 5209.

  16. Self-Encrypting Storage Data at rest solution for data protection Self-encrypting drives have integrated encryption hardware. The result: Zero performance impact. Software full disk encryption/decryption is processor intensive and is performed by the main processor of the personal computer. During periods of high data usage this can have a major negative performance impact. For data intensive applications such as scans, backup, and large file operations, self-encrypting drives can provide more than double the drive performance of software FDE products All encryption and decryption is done in the protected hardware of the self-encrypting drive Encryption keys are generated in the controller hardware of the self-encrypting drive, never leave the drive, and are not accessible outside of the drive Integrated Authentication User authentication is performed by the self-encrypting drive in order to unlock the drive Authentication is performed by a protected pre-boot OS which is the only software in the system when authentication of the user is performed by the drive Authentication cannot be separated from the drive Rapid cryptographical data destruction
