Hello,
We are proud to announce the release of Open CIT 2.2
Below are the key features for Open CIT 2.2:
New Features in 2.2:
- TPM 2.0 support.
- Added support for platform and asset tag attestation of Linux and Windows
hosts with TPM 2.0.
- Support attestation of either SHA1 or SHA256 PCR banks on TPM 2.0.
- Ubuntu 16.04 and RHEL 7.2, 7.3 (SHA1 and SHA256), Windows Server 2012 and
Hyper-V Server 2012 (SHA1) are supported with TPM 2.0
- All the certificates and hashing algorithms used in CIT are upgraded to use SHA256.
SHA1 has been deprecated and will no longer be used.
- CIT Attestation Service UI has been updated to allow the user to select either the SHA1
or SHA256 PCR bank for Attestation of TPM 2.0 hosts.
- The CIT Attestation Service will automatically choose the strongest
available algorithm for attestation (SHA1 for TPM 1.2, and SHA256 for TPM 2.0)
- CIT Attestation Service UI Whitelist tab no longer requires the user to select PCRs when
whitelisting, and will automatically choose the PCRs to use based on the host OS and TPM
version. This is done to reduce confusion due to differing behaviors between TPM 1.2 and
TPM 2.0 PCR usages.
- Additional changes made to support TPM 2.0
- Linux hosts with TPM 2.0 will now utilize TPM2.0-TSS (TPM 2.0 Software
Stack) and TPM2.0-tools instead of the legacy trousers and tpm-tools packages. The new
TSS2 and TPM2.0-tools are packaged with the CIT Trust Agent installer.
- TPM 2.0 Windows hosts use TSS.MSR (The TPM Software Stack from Microsoft
Research) PCPTool.
- TPM 1.2 hosts will continue to use the legacy TSS stack (trousers) and
tpm-tools components.
New Prerequisites required for TPM 2.0 Support
- Kernel Driver must support TPM 2.0
- RHEL 7.2 kernel version 3.10.0-327 or higher with latest update. Ubuntu
16.04 kernel needed is 4.4.
Open CIT 2.2 currently supports the following Distributions and OpenStack versions for our
extensions:
Ubuntu 16.04, RHEL 7.2 & RHEL 7.3, Windows Server 2012, and Hyper-V Server 2012 are
supported with TPM 2.0
