Embodiment Construction

[0036] 1. Key generation mechanism

[0037] Such as figure 1 As shown, in the entire key derivation diagram, there are two special keys:

[0038] (1) Endorsement key EK. The endorsement key in the VTPM directly adopts the endorsement key in the physical TPM, and its generation method is similar to that of the physical TPM. There are two generation methods: one is to use the TPM command TPM_CreateEndorsementKeyPair Key "injection" technology, under the premise of trusting the manufacturer, is generated by the manufacturer and then injected into the TPM.

[0039] (2) Store the root key SRK. As the only user of the physical TPM, the VTPM manager stores the root key generated when the user is created, manages all key data of the user, and only serves the physical TPM.

[0040] Other keys:

[0041] (1) Virtual platform identity authentication key VAIK. The VAIK is actually the AIK of the physical TPM, and its generation requires the support of a trusted third-party PCA. PCA ...

Abstract

The invention provides a key managing method for a trusted root server based virtual trusted platform module (VTPM), the method takes a frame of a trusted root server as a basis, combines functions of a physical trusted platform module (TPM) and a key managing mechanism, meets VTPM demands and ensures key safety. In the method, all keys are generated by the physical TPM, and normalization and legality of key generation are ensured; the keys are stored by the physical TPM and are managed by a key buffering mechanism, thus ensuring key safety; a VTPM manager is a unique user of the physical TPM, and manages the keys of the VTPM in a concentrated manner, and provides password service for the VTPM.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a key management method of a virtual trusted platform module based on a trusted root server in a cloud environment, and belongs to the field of information security. Background technique [0002] In recent years, cloud computing technology has developed rapidly, but the security problems it faces are becoming more and more serious. The trusted root server solution is a technology that uses trusted computing technology to ensure the security of the cloud environment. This scheme separates the virtual root of trust module VTPM from the cloud server and concentrates it on a root of trust server. The root of trust server includes a physical trusted computing module TPM chip, and then generates multiple virtual trusted modules VTPM through virtualization technology to provide trusted services externally. Each VTPM must have the same functions as the physical TPM, and can provide external functions such as key management, identity ...
