S1 E5: DICE - Beyond Security for Smaller Devices (with Microsoft's Dennis Mattoon)

In this episode of Inside Trusted Computing, Thorsten Stremlau is joined by Dennis Mattoon - Microsoft Principal Software Development Engineer and Trusted Computing Group Co-Chair of the DICE and Attestation Work Groups - consider how the evolution of smaller devices, from pagers and Palm Pilots to Nokias, Blackberries, and today's smartphones, have reshaped both technology and security.

Thorsten and Dennis explain how the threat landscape has expanded from simple signal jamming and message interception to complex attacks on entire networks and supply chains, and explain DICE (Device Identifier Composition Engine), the trusted computing solution designed for smaller devices where traditional TPMs proved too large. Listeners will learn how DICE generates keys, layers protection, and works alongside TPMs to secure today's more complex computing security architectures.

Listeners will understand the ways in which smaller devices created new security challenges, the landscape which led to the development of DICE and how it is implemented today - from IoT to Caliptra - and assess what the future holds for trusted computing for smaller devices.
