That sounds really interesting. I've looked at their website http://www.sinosun.com.cn , but it does not contain much more information. Anyway, "serial interface in conformance to ISO 7816 Standard" sounds a little bit strange to me without giving further details. Does not say anything about APDUs - maybe they refer only to electrical characteristics. This could mean, that a modified smartcard reader firmware (which allows sending not only APDUs, but also TPM commands according to the published TCG specs) could be used to access the chip. So far, I'm not aware of any APDU standards from TCG. On the other side, putting TPM commands in ISO7816 APDUs could work. The question remains, if (or in which scenario) a smartcard-TPM would really make sense, because it is no longer fixed to a specific platform. In this case, I can see no real advantage compared to existing smartcards. If you get further information about this SSX35 chip, it would ne nice if you post them here or notify me. -- mfg Axel Heider Civilization is just a temporary failure of entropy. _______________________________________________ Muscle mailing list [email protected] http://lists.drizzle.com/mailman/listinfo/muscle
