Abstract

The number of software deployed on mobile terminals is dramatically increasing. However, this leads the mobile terminal facing a serious of security threats. In order to resolve these threat issues, several security requirements are proposed. Also, this paper introduces a secure software download framework and corresponding download protocol based on mobile trusted computing, designed to handle a collection of activities in software download. Such activities include authentication, download and installation of the software. The core part of the framework is a discretionary engine--Device Management Engine (DME), which provides entity authentication, integrity protection and remote attestation for the mobile device. By the introduction of software description file, we provide a mechanism to transfer Reference Integrity Metric (RIM), which makes up for the shortage of the specification.
