[Trustedjava-support] Help in Understanding!

[Masoom A. <dou...@ya...>]

Hi All,

 I am a new bie and have installed TSS (TrouSerS). I
have to ask certain basic questions.

1. First of all, my machine is not equipped with the
TPM, instead, i am using an emulator based TPM from
ETH Zurich. Does TrustedJava will still work. As TPM
emulator is functioning perfectly at the moment.

2. Why this project is called TrustedJava, any
relation with Java. 

3. How TrustedJava complements the TrouSerS.

4. Does TrustedJava helps to develop java applications
using Java?

Thanking you in advance.
Best,
MA

Yes - jTSS Wrapper is known to work on top of TrouSerS (0.2.9) and TPM
emulator (0.5). This information can also be found in the readme of jTSS
Wrapper.

Well - its written in Java. So I'd guess there is some relationship to
Java. If you mean "is there any relationship to SUN Microsystems" then
the answer is no.


> 3. How TrustedJava complements the TrouSerS.

Again - this is described in detail in the jTSS Wrapper documentation.
jTSS Wrapper runs on top of TrouSerS (essentially wrapping the TSP layer
of TrouSerS).

An alternative would be to call TrouSerS directly via JNI. So in
essence: Yes jTSS Wrapper will help you to develop Java applications for
Trusted Computing.
