The ultimate purpose of such cultural oppression, according to the...

Protecting the Creation of Digital Signatures with Trusted Computing Platform Technology Against Attacks by Trojan Horse Programs

Digital signatures are a key technology for many Internet-based commercial and administrative applications and, therefore, an increasingly popular target of attacks. Due to their strong cryptographic properties an attacker is more likely to subvert them with malicious software, ie Trojan horse programs. We show that by fusing two techniques, our WORM-supported reliable input method and the Inte...
