Software Behavior Based Trustworthiness Attestation For Computing Platform

With a prevalence of pervasive computing, especially cloud computing , the software is at the core and play a vital role. This advance the security problem, so software trust is drawing increasing attention. Therefore, we need a unified trust relationship model between entities, which captures both the needs of the traditional computing world and the world of pervasive computing where the continuum of trust is based on identity, physical context or a combination of both. Here, we presents a software behavior based attestation model which try to determine the trust state of attesting platform from its system trust related behaviors. The new attestation model has advantages of privacy protection and high feasibility. In addition, it can also help to control and limit the impacts of security accidents such as malicious code in system. This paper also proposes a trust framework for service oriented application and displays its formalization model. It is useful for designing trust and reliable system and helpful for software developer’s analysis and validation of the application.
