Please check below for further details about the escrypt`s activitiesat the embedded word 2008:

  • "EMSCB Trusted Computing with Embedded Applications Demonstrator"

Trusted Computing is not only a technical solution for Internet security, but also for security solutions in embedded applications. EMSCB aims at developing a trustworthy computing platform that overcomes security problems of today`s conventional platforms. EMSCB`s security is based on secure controller such as the Trusted Platform Module (TPM) as well as secure micro-kernel. Existing operating systems can be efficiently migrated to the EMSCB platform.

escrypt developed the Trusted Computing Demonstrator for Embedded Applications within EMSCB. The demonstrator was presented at different locations in Europe. If you did not have a chance to see the demonstrator yet, we are happy to show you the demonstrator in an individual presentation.
