Varieties of trusted computing products usually follow the mechanism of liner-style chain of trust according to the specifications of TCG. The distinct advantage is that the compatibility with the existing computing platform is preferable, while the shortcomings are obvious simultaneously. A new star-style trust model with the ability of data recovery is proposed in this paper. The model can enhance the hardware-based root of trust in platform measurement, reduce the loss of trust during transfer process, extend the border of trust flexibly, and have the ability of data backup and recovery. The security and reliability of system is much more improved. It is proved that the star-style trust model is much better than the liner-style trust model in trust transfer and boundary extending etc. using formal methods in this paper. We illuminate the design and implementation of a kind of trusted PDA acting on star-style trust model.
