Assignment

Establish Chain of Trust

  • Investigate what is needed to establish a chain of trust for computing equipment in Radar Systems.
  • Investigate if it is possible to establish a chain of trust when network booting (PXE booting) is used.
  • Design and implement a proof-of-concept for a Radar System.
  • Optionally: show how a Certificate Authority can use this Chain of Trust
