Today, the Trusted Computing for the Java Platform project[1] released an update of jTSS, a Trusted Software Stack (TSS) implemented in 100% Java, and jTpmTools, a command-line tool to exercise various TPM features. This update adds a comprehensive set of new commands to allow manipulation of TPM NV storage. This also allows to setup the proper policies for Trusted Boot[2], a tool to perform a measured "late launch" via Intel TXT technology.
The new commands are: * Non Volatile Storage: nv_decode: decode data in non-volatile storage of the TPM nv_definespace: define an index and space in TPM NV RAM nv_lock: set the global lock for the NV storage - FOREVER! nv_releasespace: release a defined index nv_write: write data to TPM's NV RAM * Intel(R) Trusted eXecution Technology (TXT): txt_policy: create a TXT Launch Control Policy (LCP) txt_policyinfo: show informations about a LCP file * TBoot: tboot_pcr18: calculate value of PCR 18 after trusted boot tboot_pcr19-22: calculate values of PCRs above PCR 18 after trusted boot tboot_policy: create and modify TBoot Verified Launch Policy (VLP) tboot_policyinfo: show informations about a VLP file This release is EXPERIMENTAL! You can PERMANENTLY DAMAGE YOUR HARDWARE with this software! USE AT YOUR OWN RISK! We succeeded in setting up a measured TBoot on a HP dc7900, solely by using jTpmTools. However, a Intel DQ45CB got fried upon executing SINIT. Thus, your experience may vary.... :-) This release is a little bit rushed as we are hosting the 4th European Trusted Infrastructure Summerschool[3] this year and things are kinda hectic currently. If you come to ETISS - say hello! Thanks to all who contributed to this release!
