DESCRIPTION:This talk will summarise the results of\, and motivation for\,
  my master's thesis\, which looked at the feasibility of  a trusted comput
 ing framework built from entirely open components. Each component was requ
 ired to be as inspect-able and verifiable as possible\, and therefore be t
 rusted by its users. \n\nI will discuss in some detail a novel insertion a
 ttack against certain trusted computing frameworks built upon the Trusted 
 Computing Group's Trusted Computing Module. Our insertion attack makes use
  of a vulnerability that arises due to the architecture of the TPM itself\
 , and was published at COMPSAC 2006.\n\nBio:\n\nMatt Barrett graduated fro
 m the University of Auckland's Computer Science Department (http://www.cs.
 auckland.ac.nz) with a MSc (Hons\, 1st Class) in 2005. His thesis was titl
 ed 'Towards an Open Trusted Computing Framework\,' available at http://www
 .cs.auckland.ac.nz/~cthombor/Students/mbarrett/mbarrettThesis.htm. Since t
 hen\, he has been living and working in London. Previous research has incl
 uded Microsoft's now defunct Next-Generation Secure Computing Base.
