1. A method of certifying a secure platform comprising:
manufacturing a platform;
generating a publicprivate key pair within the platform after the platform is manufactured; and
authenticating the platform and the public key.
2. The method of claim 1 wherein the platform is a TPM.
3. The method of claim 1 wherein the key pair is an RSA key pair.
4. The method of claim 1 wherein the key pair is generated within a secure boundary.
5. The method of claim 1 wherein the private key is always maintained with a secure boundary.
6. The method of claim 5 wherein the private key is output from the platform only in encrypted form.
7. The method of claim 1 wherein the key pair is generated during system test.
8. The method of claim 1 wherein the key pair is generated by an end user.
9. The method of claim 8 wherein the key pair is generated when the platform is installed.
10. The method of claim 1 wherein the platform is manufactured at a secure facility.
11. The method of claim 1 wherein the public key is associated with an identifier of the platform.
12. The method of claim 11 wherein the public key is associated with a serial number of the platform.
13. A method of certifying a secure platform comprising:
manufacturing a platform;
shipping the platform to a user;
generating a publicprivate key pair within the platform when the platform is installed by the user; and
authenticating the platform and the public key.
14. The method of claim 13 wherein the platform is a TPM.
15. The method of claim 13 wherein the key pair is an RSA key pair.
16. The method of claim 13 wherein the key pair is generated within a secure boundary.
17. The method of claim 13 wherein the private key is always maintained with a secure boundary.
18. The method of claim 17 wherein the private key is output from the platform only in encrypted form.
19. The method of claim 13 wherein the key pair is generated when the platform is installed.
20. The method of claim 13 wherein the platform is manufactured at a secure facility.
21. The method of claim 13 wherein the public key is associated with an identifier of the platform.
22. The method of claim 21 wherein the public key is associated with a serial number of the platform.
The claims below are in addition to those above.
All refrences to claim(s) which appear below refer to the numbering after this setence.
1. A tandem warhead for destroying a target, the tandem warhead comprising:
a kinetic energy rod section including a plurality of lengthy individual projectiles;
a blast fragmentation section deployable proximate the target; and
means for deploying the projectiles of the kinetic energy rod section first in the trajectory path of the target and for deploying the blast fragmentation section second proximate the target.
2. The tandem warhead of claim 1 in which the kinetic energy rod section includes an explosive charge about the projectiles.
3. The tandem warhead of claim 2 in which the explosive charge is divided into sections.
4. The tandem warhead of claim 3 in which there is a hull about the explosive charge also divided into sections.
5. The tandem warhead of claim 4 further including jettison explosive packs disposed between each hull section and the projectiles.
6. The tandem warhead of claim 1 in which the projectiles are cylindrical.
7. The tandem warhead of claim 6 in which the projectiles have at least one end which is pointed.
8. The tandem warhead of claim 1 in which the projectiles have a non-cylindrical cross section.
9. The tandem warhead of claim 8 in which the projectiles have a star shaped cross section.
10. The tandem warhead of claim 8 in which the non-cylindrical cross section projectiles have a pointed end.
11. A tandem warhead for destroying a target, the tandem warhead comprising:
a kinetic energy rod section including a plurality of lengthy individual projectiles;
a blast fragmentation section deployable proximate the target; and
means for deploying the projectiles of the kinetic energy rod section first away from a direction of travel of the blast fragmentation section and in the trajectory path of the target and for deploying the blast fragmentation section second proximate the target.
12. A tandem warhead for destroying a target, the tandem warhead comprising:
a kinetic energy rod section travelling in a first direction including a plurality of lengthy individual projectiles;
a blast fragmentation section also travelling in the first direction deployable proximate the target; and
means for deploying the projectiles of the kinetic energy rod section in a second direction perpendicular to the first direction and in the trajectory path of the target and for deploying the blast fragmentation section, after further travel in the first direction, proximate the target.
