| Abstract | The Transient Public Key Infrastructure or T-PKI is introduced in this paper that allows a transactional approach to attestation, where a Trusted Platform Module (TPM) can stay anonymous to a verifier. In cloud computing and IoT environments, attestation is a critical step in ensuring that the environment is untampered with. With attestation, the verifier would be able to ascertain information about the TPM (such as location, or other system information) that one may not want to disclose. The addition of the Direct Anonymous Attestation added to TPM 2.0 would potentially solve this problem, but it uses the traditional RSA or ECC based methods. In this paper, a Lattice-based approach is used that is both quantum safe, and not dependent on creating a new key pair in order to increase anonymity. |
