AP - Other NBA coaches envy Phil Jackson's nine championship rings, and they snipe behind his back about the holier-than-thou attitude of this minister's son. They also know Jackson makes playoff adjustments faster and better than any coach in recent league history — and Jackson seems certain to fix the Los Angeles Lakers before Game 2 of the NBA Finals tonight.

Actually, if you're a paranoid Windows user like me, then you're checking Windows Update every day. Because of how aggressively I patch, and because virtually all the headline grabbers have taken advantage of unpatched systems, most of the news wasn't scaring me to death--until this week's reports of two keystroke loggers; one that neither Internet Explorer nor the best anti-virus defenses were well-prepared for, and another for which a client-side patch existed but was alarming in the way it targeted bank accounts.

Trusted Computing. Microsoft and friends are proposing some major alterations to the way that computers work, the ostensible goal being to increase security. But others say that the real goals are much more insidious.

Security models that treat the computer owner as the adversary are the problem. Reliable knowledge of a remote computer's internal software state is the tool that enables applications with such security models.

Steven Levy on Trusted Computing

Steven Levy, author of Hackers and Crypto, has a fantastic piece on Newsweek's site about the potential dangers of Trusted Computing.

How could the freedom genie be shoved back into the bottle? Basically, it's part of a huge effort to transform the Net from an arena where anyone can anonymously participate to a sign-in affair where tamperproof "digital certificates" identify who you are. The advantages of such a system are clear: it would eliminate identity theft and enable small, secure electronic "microtransactions," long a dream of Internet commerce pioneers. (Another bonus: arrivederci, unwelcome spam.) A concurrent step would be the adoption of "trusted computing," a system by which not only people but computer programs would be stamped with identifying marks. Those would link with certificates that determine whether programs are uncorrupted and cleared to run on your computer.

Owner Override: a proposal to fix
Trusted Computing 11/15/2003 01:14 PM
My collegaue Seth Schoen has written an audacious article for Linux Journal in which he calls on the architects of "Trusted Computing" [TCPA|TCG|Palladium|NGSCB] systems -- which ostensibly solve some of the Internet's security problems by adding cryptographicallly secured tamper-detection to the hardware of the commodity PC -- to add a feature that he calls "Owner Override."

Trusted Computing proposals have drawn fire as tools for lock-in and other anti-competitive strategies; Seth's Owner Override allows the owner of a computer to override the Trusted Computing security when it is in her own interest.

For example, you could use Owner Override to tell a "lie" to your bank, which insists that you use Microsoft Internet Explorer to access its website, and convince the bank's webserver that your copy of Opera or Safari or Mozilla is really Internet Explorer. This is possible (even routine) today, but in a Trusted Computing universe, it will be impossible, modulo Owner Override.

Fortunately, this problem is fixable. TCG should empower computer owners to override attestations deliberately to defeat policies of which they disapprove. Giving the owner this choice preserves an essential part of the status quo: third parties can never know for sure what's running on your PC. TCG already defines a platform owner concept. The TCG specification also should provide for a facility by which the platform owner, when physically present, can force the TPM chip to generate an attestation as if the Platform Configuration Registers (PCRs) contained values of the owner's choice instead of their actual values.

APIs and a clear user interface for the override mechanism could be specified by an appropriate TCG committee. Only the platform owner should be able to do this; whenever a machine provides an inaccurate attestation, it does so for what its owner considered an appropriate reason. This change would do nothing to undermine the basic security benefits of the TCPA hardware, including those outlined in the Safford article; you still could tell whether your computer had been altered.

Trusted Networking?

Trusted Networking? 05/11/2004 03:16 PM
Last week we wrote about how the idea of compl y and connect security was beginning to get more attention than the traditional "scan and block" method, which has been shown to be too reactive. At the time, we suggested a hybrid approach would make more sense. Furthering this point, the unfortunately named Trusted Computing Group is working on a standa rd for establishing security policies for a "comply and connect" system. This way, anyone can set the rules and they can be used across different vendors. The companies involved are all quite impressive, but it does seem like they're all heavily invested in this area already - meaning that the solution is likely to have compromises and be more focused on protecting business models than actually solving some of the bigger issues concerning stopping malicious attacks and files.

Someone who prefers to remain anonymous wrote in with a link to a Newsweek story painting a scary portrait of the future internet that some big companies envision. Under the name (popularized, of course, by Microsoft) "trusted computing", they're trying to clean up the internet. However, just like pioneering places in the real world, "cleaning up" often means "locking down", which can take away the rights and freedoms of individuals mainly because a small number of them abused those rights and freedoms. At the same time, however, the article suggests that in such a cleaning up, we're simply making the internet safe for big companies. The big question, then, is there a way to deal with the bad seeds in an online world where anything goes that doesn't require restricting our freedoms and openness? Or are the two things mutually exclusive? I'd like to believe that it's possible to preserve the rights and freedoms, but it will take more work - because it involves focusing on stopping the abusers, instead of just blocking everyone.

I got an email from a stranger asking where he should donate money for tsunami victims. I sent him the urls to the donation pages up at Amazon and Google. I didn't send him to Wikipedia. Apparently, for this type of information I trust a top-down source more than a bottom-up one. Wikipedia does its best to discourage trust on this topic, and appropriately so: Due to its open and collaborative nature, Wikipedia cannot guarantee the veracity of outside links or the absence of possible scams involving charities, thus the potential danger of fraud exists. In particular, please beware of...

Beware of Fully Trusted Code 04/09/2004 03:57 PM
The vast majority of managed applications run with full trust, but based on my experience teaching .NET security to developers with a broad range of experience, most really don't understand the implications of fully trusted code. So I've pulled together a number of examples where fully trusted code can skirt around common language runtime (CLR) security features, starting each with a question that seems to have an obvious answer.
