“…Trusted Platform Module (TPM) ensures data security from hardware layer. With the advancement of USB technology, USB is developed as portable TPM (Kushwaha, 2013) and for portability the EFI System Partition (ESP) which contains the boot loader program is installed in USB. For every boot, the hash value is calculated and checked with the previous stored value in USB.…”

Boot Loader is the crucial program that loads the operating system in memory and initializes the system. In today's world people are constantly on move and portable system are in demand specially the USB devices due to its portability and accessibility compared to CD/DVD drives. The purpose of this paper is to design a dynamic boot loader which removes the BIOS dependency and allow user to boot from USB without changing CMOS settings. The USB is devised as plug and play portable system with puppy Linux and newly developed dynamic boot loader. The device is experimented on a computer machine with 8 GB RAM, i5 processor, 64-bit Operating system and windows 7 and observed that nearly 50% reduction in booting time i.e., the time spent in changing the boot order is eliminated compared to the static boot loader. The time spent in the BIOS is dependent on the user knowledge in changing the boot priority. The portable system allows the user to work in ease in any environment with minimum requirement of Windows XP and USB 2.0 compatible system.

“…To prevent the master boot record from easily being manipulated and infiltrated by bootkits, Müller et al present Stark, which mutually authenticates the computer and the user in order to resist keylogging during boot and implements trust bootstrapping from a secure token (a USB flash drive) [11]. Based on UEFI (Unified Extensible Firmware Interface), Kushwaha proposes the creation of ESP (EFI System Partition) on the USBKey [12]. Since the ESP contains the boot loader and other critical codes for booting, the system always needs the USBKey to boot the system to a running state.…”

Trusted computing aims to build a trusted computing environment for information systems with the help of secure hardware TPM, which has been proved to be an effective way against network security threats. However, the TPM chips are not yet widely deployed in most computing devices so far, thus limiting the applied scope of trusted computing technology. To solve the problem of lacking trusted hardware in existing computing platform, an alternative security hardware USBKey is introduced in this paper to simulate the basic functions of TPM and a new reverse USBKey-based integrity verification model is proposed to implement the reverse integrity verification of the operating system boot process, which can achieve the effect of trusted boot of the operating system in end systems without TPMs. A Linux operating system booting method based on reverse integrity verification is designed and implemented in this paper, with which the integrity of data and executable files in the operating system are verified and protected during the trusted boot process phase by phase. It implements the trusted boot of operation system without TPM and supports remote attestation of the platform. Enhanced by our method, the flexibility of the trusted computing technology is greatly improved and it is possible for trusted computing to be applied in large-scale computing environment.
