For the future European applications such as Smart Grids for electricity network, smart low energy controlled home appliance, environmental or infrastructure sensor networks, and more generally management of trusted components, more security over communication networks and wireless communications, a number of technologies need to be developed and put in place to make the solutions smarter and more secure. TOISE proposes to address the secure tamper resistant solutions needed by the related embedded applications. Trusted Computing now in practise for the PC and workstation area provides a proven approach face to new attacks, by implementing a chain of authentication and integrity from the boot of the computing platform to the applications set up. The objective of TOISE is to define, develop and validate trust hardware and firmware mechanisms applicable both to lightweight embedded devices and as security anchors within related embedded platforms.
