Hello list, We are two undergraduate students studying computer engineering and informatics at Patra's University, Greece. We are currently working on our diploma thesis which is about developing a driver for the TPM (Trusted Platform Module) for FreeBSD.We think that TPM can enhance security in FreeBSD and could be a great addition to the TrustedBSD project. We are still in the begining of the project and since this is our first effort in implementing a device driver we are trying to gather and read all available documentation on the subject first. However, we were unable to find a source of information related to how the BSD kernel and device communication is implemented and we would greatly appreciate it if you could point us one; either in form of a book or an article/tutorial. Last but not least, we'd like to make clear that we are oppossed to any DRM-related use of this device, however we believe that the TPM can be used in security or cryptographic applications. Thanks in advance for your time.
