Abstract:
Embodiments of an invention for fuse attestation to secure the provisioning of secret keys during integrated circuit manufacturing are disclosed. In one embodiment, an apparatus includes a storage location, a physically unclonable function (PUF) circuit, a PUF key generator, an encryption unit, and a plurality of fuses. The storage location is to store a configuration fuse value. The PUF circuit is to provide a PUF value. The PUF key generator is to generate a PUF key based on the PUF value. The encryption unit is to encrypt the configuration fuse value using the PUF key. The PUF key and the configuration fuse value are to be provided to a key server. The key server is to determine that the configuration fuse value indicates that the apparatus is a production component, and, in response, provide a fuse key to be stored in the plurality of fuses.
Abstract:
In an embodiment, an apparatus includes a processor including a first core. The first core includes multi-biometric logic to output first biometric data w i (i =1 to n , n ≥ 2), each w i determined based on a corresponding one of first biometric input M i ( i =1 to n , n ≥ 2) received during a first time period. The apparatus also includes setup logic to transform a cryptographic key k via a transformation that uses the first biometric data w i where transformation of the cryptographic key k results in output of helper data h i ( i =1 to n ). Other embodiments are described and claimed.
Abstract:
A physically unclonable function (PUF) includes a plurality of PUF elements to generate an N-bit PUF signature. For each bit in the N-bit PUF signature, a PUF group of K number of individual PUF elements indicating a single-bit PUF value is used to generate a group bit. The group bits are more repeatable than the individual PUF elements. The value K may be selected such that (K+1)/2 is an odd number.
Abstract:
A method and system computes a basepoint for use in a signing operation of a direct anonymous attestation scheme. The method and system includes computing a basepoint at a host computing device and verifying the base point at a trusted platform module (TPM) device.
Abstract:
Some implementations disclosed herein provide techniques and arrangements for provisioning keys to integrated circuits/processors. A processor may include physically unclonable functions component, which may generate a unique hardware key based at least on at least one physical characteristic of the processor. The hardware key may be employed in encrypting a key such as a secret key. The encrypted key may be stored in a memory of the processor. The encrypted key may be validated. The integrity of the key may be protected by communicatively isolating at least one component of the processor.
Abstract:
Keying materials used for providing security in a platform are securely provisioned both online and offline to devices in a remote platform. The secure provisioning of the keying materials is based on a revision of firmware installed in the platform.

Abstract:
This application is directed to trusted platform module certification and attestation utilizing an anonymous key system. In general, TPM certification and TPM attestation may be supported in a device utilizing integrated TPM through the use of anonymous key system (AKS) certification. An example device may comprise at least combined AKS and TPM resources that load AKS and TPM firmware (FW) into a runtime environment that may further include at least an operating system (OS) encryption module, an AKS service module and a TPM Certification and Attestation (CA) module. For TPM certification, the CA module may interact with the other modules in the runtime environment to generate a TPM certificate, signed by an AKS certificate, that may be transmitted to a certification platform for validation. For TPM attestation, the CA module may cause TPM credentials to be provided to the attestation platform for validation along with the TPM and/or AKS certificates.
Abstract:
Technologies for securely pairing a first computing device with a second computing device include the first computing device to generate a session message key based on a key exchange with the second computing device. The first computing device receives a message including a hardware key certificate, 5 a cryptographically-signed communication, and a message authentication code from the second computing device. The cryptographically-signed communication is signed with a private hardware key of the second computing device. The first computing device validates the message authentication code, the certificate, and the signature received from the second computing device. After validation, the first computing device 10 identifies a user of the second computing device based on user-identifying data received from the second computing device.
Abstract:
At least one machine accessible medium having instructions stored thereon for authenticating a hardware device is provided. When executed by a processor, the instructions cause the processor to receive two or more device keys from a physically unclonable function (PUF) on the hardware device, generate a device identifier from the two or more device keys, obtain a device certificate from the hardware device, perform a verification of the device identifier, and provide a result of the device identifier verification. In a more specific embodiment, the instructions cause the processor to perform a verification of a digital signature in the device certificate and to provide a result of the digital signature verification. The hardware device may be rejected if at least one of the device identifier verification and the digital signature verification fails.
