Hi<br><br>Trusted Computing (TC) is a technology developed and promoted by the Trusted Computing Group (TCG)[3]. So, basically the group came up with these chips called TPM chips which are present on most motherboards nowadays. The main purpose of it is to enhance security so that infected executables don't run. It also provides memory curtaining such that cryptographic keys won't be accessible and many other features. There was a criticism on this from the FOSS community as well that it enables DRM. No wonder, it is being pushed by Intel, Microsoft, AMD, etc.. But personally I think its a good idea from security point of view. <br>
<br>So, currently there is an TSS (TCG Software Stack)[1] API written in C. And TrustedJava[2] is a project which ported it to Java and is going to be included in the standard API of Java soon. They have 2 versions of it. One is a simple wrapper on top of the API and the other is a whole implementation of the stack in Java. <br>
<br>My proposal is we create an API for it in python. <br><b>Reason</b>: I am a developer in Umit and I think Python is a very good platform for developing applications. So, why not create an API which helps in developing secure applications?<br>
<br>I would love to learn more and provide you with any more information. Please let me know what you guys think of it? <br><br>Thanks in advance<br><br>Cheers<br>Abhiram<br><br>[1] <a href="http://www.trustedcomputinggroup.org/resources/tcg_software_stack_tss_specification" target="_blank">http://www.trustedcomputinggroup.org/resources/tcg_software_stack_tss_specification</a><br>
