Which existing TCG specifications are relevant to the Trusted Multi-Tenant Infrastructure Work Groups efforts?
A. TCG has a number of existing specifications that play a role in the trusted multi-tenant infrastructure. These include the Trusted Network Connect (TNC) architecture, the Trusted Platform Module, specifications from the TCG Infrastructure Work Group and work underway in the Virtualization Work Group. While the Trusted Multi-Tenant Infrastructure Work Group is new to TCG, our members have been thinking about security and the cloud for some time. For additional information on that, you can read our recent white paper. You can also read several articles on this at http://www.trustedcomputinggroup.org/media_room/news/100, http://brianberger.sys-con.com/node/1411630, and at http://cloudcomputing.sys-con.com/node/1330353, and view a short video of one our members discussing this topic at http://www.trustedcomputinggroup.org/resources/how_trusted_platform_modules_tpms_could_improve_cloud_security.
