Intel(R) EPID SDK

The Intel(R) Enhanced Privacy ID Software Development Kit

Intel(R) EPID SDK enables adding Intel(R) EPID support to applications and platforms.

Intel(R) EPID is a cryptographic protocol which enables the remote authentication of a trusted platform whilst preserving the user's privacy.

  • For a given public key there are many (e.g., millions) of private keys. The key holders form a group.

  • Any key holder may sign against the one public key.

  • No one can tell which private key signed the data. This is the privacy property.

You can use Intel(R) EPID as a foundational building block for a multitude of security solutions.

Math Primitives

The source code used for math primitives in the Intel(R) EPID SDK is a subset of the Intel(R) IPP Cryptography library (v9.0.3) written in C. For higher performance, you can use the commercial version of the IPP Cryptography libraries, which are available at https://software.intel.com/articles/download-ipp-cryptography-libraries.
