- Updated key generation to use RSA-3K
Intel® SecL-DC News Update: First generation 1.4 GA Release 5/22/19
First version 1.4GA Release supporting the below Use Cases:
- Hardware-rooted Platform Trust Attestation
Intel Security Libraries leverage Intel Trusted Execution Technology and the Trusted Compute Group standards to establish a measured boot environment for servers that use Intel Xeon processors and a Trusted Platform Module. This measured boot environment allows a server's actual boot state to be compared to known-good values, which enables the detection of malicious code injection, rootkits, unacceptable firmware or software version, etc. Remote attestation of this comparison through ISecL allows a clear audit report of the boot state of servers in the datacenter to ensure compliance and improve security.
- Asset Tag Attestation
Intel Security Libraries allow the generation and provisioning of user-defined key/value pairs that can be securely provisioned into the physical TPM of a host and included in the remote attestation process. This allows datacenter administrators or cloud consumers to gain visibility into tagged attributes, such as the location of the server hardware.
