Abstract
The trusted computing technology (TCT) is an effective way to solve embedded real-time operation system (ERTOS) security. However, the existing TCT is hard to satisfy the properties of real-time and low power consumption directly. Based on vxworks kernel, this paper put forward a solution of trusted computing by designing embedded real-time trusted computing module and trusted software stack, which could realize the chain of trust by using integrity measurement certificate. Experiments show that the average execution time of commands on trusted platform module saves 65.81 % execution time compared with SW-TP, which can meet the ERTOS requirements of real-time property and low power consumption as a whole.
