Abstract
Trustworthiness measurement is the base and important supporting technology of Trusted Computing. The main objective of trustworthiness measurement is that, how to estimate the trustworthiness of different objects by appropriate policies. In measurement, accessing the address space of measured objects and obtaining the various datum and evidences are considered firstly. Aiming to this problem, this paper presents the primary measurement system architecture, and puts forward three methods of MA(Measurement Agent)in user space invoking MMK(Measurement Module in Kernel)in kernel space. In addition, the principal and realization of accessing a process address space is proposed, including address remapping, switching the CR3 manually and by kernel thread. Finally, three methods are compared qualitatively, and performance consumption is listed by experiment.
