Trusted Computing and Trusted Execution

Catalog description

This course introduces methods and technologies for establishing trust in modern computing systems, including classic approaches (e.g., boot chain-of-trust, secure boot, exception/privilege levels, and Trusted Platform Modules - TPMs) and more recent trusted execution architectures that enable the creation of hardware-isolated secure sub-domains (e.g., ARM TrustZone) and enclaved sub-process execution (e.g., Intel Secure Guard eXtensions - SGX). The course also includes a list of special topics within trusted computing discussing new developments in the field.
