Securing the Distribution and Storage of Secrets with Trusted Platform Modules

Abstract. We present a protocol that allows servers to securely distribute secrets to trusted platforms. The protocol maintains the confidentiality of secrets in the face of eavesdroppers and careless users. Given an ideal (tamper-proof) trusted platform, the protocol can even withstand attacks by dishonest users. As an example of its use, we present an application to secure document processing.
