Abstract

CD-boot Linuxi is a live Linux environment, which is easy to use because it is not installed in the hard disk, but simply boots directly from a CD. This helps protect the sensitive information because a clean environment can be prepared at boot time. To insure this environment protects sensitive information, we adapted the trusted computing technology to define a trustworthy environment.
