Trust of Hardware

Initially, we point out that hardware trust is pretty important to a trusted computing platform based on prior work. Then we propose the notion of measuring hardware trust. We also analyze key factors needed to be considered when designing a hardware-measurement architecture, and give an outline of our approach. Next, we show the measurement result and further discuss some other applications of hardware measurement. Finally, we conclude that sufficient attentions should be paid to hardware trust. Measuring and managing hardware trust are strongly recommended.
