rust-vtpm-td

A Trust Platform Module (TPM) provides the Root-of-Trust for Reporting (RTR) and Root-of-Trust for Storage (RTS) for the platform. With a platform specific Root-of-Trust for Measurement (RTM), usually the first boot code, the platform can support TPM-based attestation or TPM-based sealing.

In virtual platform, a virtual TPM (vTPM) may be used to support similar TPM-based attestation. It is widely adopted in the hypervisor environment and supported by the virtual machine monitor (VMM) vendor. A VMM may provide virtual TPM services to the guest environment.

However, with the Intel Trust Domain Extension, the VMM is out of Trust Computing Base (TCB) and no longer trusted. As such, a pure VMM-based virtual TPM is not feasible. We need have other way to support vTPM based solution.

rust-vtpm-td is a Trust Domain (TD) based vTPM solution, which can support vTPM functionality with VMM out of TCB.

After booting up to TD guest OS, vTPM features can be used as normal TPM. It can be verified by:

• tpm2-tools
• Linux IMA (Integrity Measurement Architecture)
• Quote Verification
• Keylime
