Open_TC Open Trusted Computing Integrated Project No. 027635 Overview – 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); Page 4

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 Page 5

REMPLI

Real-time Energy Management via Powerlines and Internet

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 8

Long-term Benefits

• Improvement of

– Energy distribution – Planning and local control – Billing – Leakage and fraud detection

REMPLI

• Establishment of IT infrastructure

– Connection to in-home networks – Add-on services (e.g., surveillance, domotics) – Improved customer relationship Page 9

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)
