[$] Protecting against TPM interposer attacks

The TrustedPlatform Module (TPM) is a widely misunderstood piece of hardware (orfirmware) that lives in most x86-based computers. At SCALE 23x in Pasadena, California,James Bottomley gave a presentation on the TPM and the work that he andothers have done to enable the Linux kernel to work with it. Inparticular, he described the problems with interposer attacks, which targetthe communication between the TPM and the kernel, and what hasbeen added to the kernel to thwart them.
