towards platform-independent trusted computing
Software independence from hardware platforms is an important feature of growing significance, given the emergence of new distributed computing paradigms. It would be desirable to extend the Trusted Computing mechanisms offered by the Trusted Platform Module into the platform independent Java environment. However, there is currently no generally accepted Trusted Computing API for Java. In this paper, we describe the design of a high-level API for Trusted Computing in Java, which is set to become the new industry standard for Java applications. We describe the current state of the standardization effort being undertaken in Java Specification Request 321 (JSR321).
