Abstract
TCG group introduced the Remote Attestation Protocol, which has a weak point that makes it vulnerable to a masquerade attack. In this paper, a new method is introduced for improving the security of this protocol against masquerading attacks. The security of the improved protocol is analyzed using AVISPA tools. Advantages of the improved protocol include a reduced number of messages and lower cost, which prevents useless communication. Furthermore, an improved mechanism for measuring and reporting the changes is recommended. Combining the above mentioned, improved protocol with the improved integrity measurement and reporting mechanism can solve the existing problem in certain critical applications.
