Synopsis

In Dynamics of a Trusted Platform David Grawrock has updated his highly popular Intel Safer Computing Initiative with new topics covering the latest developments in secure computing.

The reader is introduced to the concept of Trusted Computing and the building block approach to designing security into PC platforms. The Intel Trusted Execution Technology? (Intel TXT) is one of those building blocks that can be used to create a trusted platform by integrating new security features and capabilities into the processor, chipset, and other platform components

"This book provides a good overview of the fundamental building blocks of security and shows the relationships between them in ways which are accessible to people with various levels of experience and knowledge. This book is a good, understandable reference that manages to describe trusted computing without being dry" Amy C Nelson, Dell Inc

"David finds analogies in everyday life to clearly explain many of the concepts in this book. I would highly recommended Dynamics of a Trusted Platform for researchers, architects, and designers who are serious about trusted computing" Dr. Sigrid Gürgens, Fraunhofer Institute for Secure Information Technology (SIT),

"The opportunity now exists to start building trusted systems, making this book very timely. It would be foolhardy to start without a thorough understanding of the concepts; and this is what Dynamics of a Trusted Platform gives you. The building blocks described here are certainly able to imbue the infrastructure with a higher level of trustworthiness, and we may all look forward to the many benefits flowing from that." Andrew Martin Director, Master's in Software and Systems Security, Oxford University Software Engineering Centre
