Trusted Platform Module (TPM) authentication support for Infineon TPM SLD 9630 TT 1.1b

The trusted platform module (TPM) provides the ability to run the system or applications more securely and makes communications more trustworthy.

A TPM provides the first level of trust by hardening the base platform and system software in the following areas:

• Protected Storage– Hardware-protected storage of sensitive data that may include user passwords, certificates and other credentials
• Platform Authentication– Attestable authentication of the platform that ensures that the platform is secure
• Protected Cryptographic Processes– Hardware-protected key generation, random number generation, and hash and digital signature
• Platform Trust State– Ability to communicate the attestable trust state of the platform

Smart card & USB or Virtual Token authentication: -

A smart card is a plastic card about the size of a credit card with an embedded microchip that can be loaded with information. Smart cards provide protection of information and authentication for individual users. Logging on to a network with a smart card can provide a strong form of authentication when it uses cryptography-based identification and proof of possession when authenticating a user to a domain.

A USB token is simply a smart card in a different form factor. Rather than deploying the smart chip on a plastic credit platform, the smart chip is inserted into a plastic token, also known as a key. The major difference between a smart card and a token is in the access interface. A card requires a reader, while a token plugs directly into any USB port. There is no difference in the core functionality of storing and providing credentials.

A virtual token represents the software emulation of hardware token such as a smart card or USB token. The software token can be stored either in the Windows registry database or in a file and includes the token's location on a hard drive, diskette, USB drive, and so on.

• Initialize smart cards and USB tokens - Smart cards and USB tokens are supported through Cryptographic Token Interface Standard (PKCS#11) interface.
• Personalize and register cards and tokens
• User PIN management includes length, expiration, and change on next logon settings.
• Master PIN management
• Register certificates
• Backup user identity on the smart cards and tokens
• Use the cards and tokens for SSO and system logon
• Other Smart Card Systems under development
