TPM （trusted platform module） context manager is presented to carry out dynamic configuration management for virtual machine. It manages the TPM command requests and VM （virtual machine） configurations. The dynamic configuration representa- tion method based on Merkle hash tree is explicitly proposed against TCG （trusted computing group） static configuration representation. It reflects the true VM status in real time even if the configuration has changed, and it eliminates the invalidation of configuration representation, sealing storage and remote attestation. TPM context manager supports TCG storage protection, remote attestation etc, which greatly enhances the security on trusted virtualization platform.展开更多

Aiming at the remediation of lack of effective security assurances of vTPM in- stances in the existing virtual TPM architecture, this paper pre- sents a security-improved scheme for virtual TPM based on ker- nel-based virtual machine （KVM）. By realizing the TPM2.0 speci- fication in hardware and software, we add protection for vTPM＇s secrets using the asymmetric encryption algorithm of TPM. This scheme supports the safety migration of a TPM key during VM-vTPM migration and the security association for different virtual machines （VMs） with vTPM instances. We implement a virtual trusted platform with higher security based on KVM virtual infrastructure. The experiments show that the proposed scheme can enhance the security of virtual trusted platform and has fewer additional performance loss for the VM migration with vTPM.展开更多

To realise the potential of the VC, it is neces- sary to cultivate within it good group cohesion and vitality. Using empirical and experimental research methods, this study explores the ef- fect of users＇ trust in the VC Platform （VCP） on group cohesion and vitality and how brand and perceived privacy security can affect us- ers＇ trust in the VC. The research results indi- cate that the brand of the VCP can directly af- fect users＇ trust in the VC, and can also influe- nce it indirectly through users＇ perceived pri- vacy protection and perceived security protec- tion. Further, this study also confu＇ms that the performance of the VC （group cohesion and vitality） is significantly affected by users＇ trust in the VC. The results of this study can provide theoretical guidance for internet companies to maintain and enhance the value of VCs.展开更多
