Fast Abstract at the International Conference on Dependable Systems and Networks, Göteborg, Sweden, June 2001
Since we devised the Timely Computing Base model ([RTDI-99-2]), we have taken systematic steps to validate it. In [DSN00] we have shown how to solve a fundamental problem: to interface a payload system of any degree of asynchrony, to a synchronous subsystem as the TCB. We have also discussed the implementation of one of the application classes we propose (fail-safe) on the TCB. In a recent work [SRDS01] we show how to implement time-elastic applications on the TCB. Implementing a TCB is a subject of its own. In [WFCS00], we describe one of the possible implementations of the TCB, based on RT-Linux, using Linux as the payload support system.
Recently, we have extended the TCB model with a set of security properties to make it trusted not only in the time domain but also in the value domain. The resulting Trusted Timely Computing Base (TTCB) is presented in [WARGC01]. In the present paper we present a brief report on all these advances.
