	EFF: Trusted Computing: Promise and Risk
		In the trusted computing design, even the operating system should not have access to curtained memory, so an intruder who gains control of the very operating system would not be able to interfere with programs' secure memory.
		However, trusted computing developers deny that DRM is the main focus of their efforts, and trusted computing is useful for many applications besides DRM.
		Trusted computing systems that protect your computer against you and prevent you from overriding policies are, on balance, a step backward.

	Trusted computing - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Trusted computing (TC) refers to technology from the Trusted Computing Group (TCG) which is claimed to allow computers and servers to offer improved computer security and protection from computer viruses and the like.
		It is possible that you trust your doctor and think he or she is a great person; it's equally possible that there is only one doctor in your town, so you are forced to trust him or her.
		Critics of trusted computing are further concerned that they are not able to look inside trusted computing hardware to see if it is properly implemented or if there are backdoors which poses a serious risk to national security, company secrets, and privacy.

		The Trusted Computing Group (TCG), successor to the Trusted Computing Platform Alliance (TCPA), is an initiative led by AMD, Hewlett-Packard, IBM, Intel, Microsoft, Sony, and Sun Microsystems to implement trusted computing.
		Trusted computing refers to a family of specifications from the TCPA with a stated goal of making computers more secure through the use of dedicated hardware.
		TCG also recently released the first version of their Trusted Network Connect (TNC) protocol specification, based on the principles of AAA, but adding the ability to authorize network clients on the basis of hardware configuration, BIOS, kernel version, and which updates that have been applied to the OS and anti-virus software, etc. [1].

		Trusted computing is a proposal to make Internet commerce less cumbersome and therefore more efficient and commonplace by increasing the security of networked personal computers.
		Others argue that the additional security referred to by "trusted computing," could be achieved without relinquishing root control over their computer.
		Trusted computing architects, however, claim that the name means that a computer can be trusted as to its hardware/software configuration.

	trusted PC - a Whatis.com definition
		Trusted personal computing devices are being developed that maximize the security of individual computers through hardware and operating system-based mechanisms rather than through add-in programs and policies.
		The idea of a "trusted PC" is similar to the trust relationships that can be set up between networked computers to allow the terminals involved varying degrees of access to each other's data, depending on their requirements and level of trust.
		The new trusted PC uses the word in a different sense, in that its "trust" is based on hard-wired security - somewhat like trusting children to stay out of the cookie jar because it is locked in a safe.

		The Trusted Computing Platform Alliance hopes to hammer out a spec this year that would include secure PC operating systems, and it is considering incorporating as a nonprofit agency so that it can test and certify systems using a hardware security chip it already has defined.
		And the job of morphing insecure PCs into trusted platforms faces huge technical and business challenges, many of which lie outside the alliance's scope and some of which tug against the core trends in computing today.
		The chips, known as trusted platform modules (or TPMs), generally include a 16-bit microprocessor, a random number generator, an encryption accelerator, hashing capabilities and nonvolatile memory.

	Trusted Computing Platforms: TCPA Technology in Context (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-02)
		February 2001 witnessed a major leap forward in the field of computer security with the publication of an innovative industry specification for "trusted platforms." This heralded a new era in significantly higher security for electronic commerce and electronic interaction than currently exists.
		As a result, computing platforms are playing not only the role of computing devices, but also of communicating (connected) devices.
		The integrity challenge feature helps to build a chain of trust, which allows local and remote users to verify whether selected functions and resources of the computing platform have been installed and are operating in a way that satisfies them.

		The specifications created by that group will form the core of the Trusted Computing Group, but in addition, the new group has created reasonable and nondiscriminatory (RAND) licensing terms and a logo program, and it has broadened the types of devices and applications for which the technology will be promoted.
		While the Trusted Computing Group's initiatives would seemingly fit that bill, the promoters denied that appeasing Hollywood is a goal of the group.
		While the Trusted Computing Group expands the types of devices that might include the technology, adds a marketing budget for the group and institutes licensing terms, the real improvement may be in governance, he said.

		Ross Anderson of the University of Cambridge has released an excellent and alarming paper on the Trusted Platform Computing Alliance, a three year old consortium founded by Compaq, IBM, HP, Intel, and Microsoft that aims to introduce into the PC industry foundational architectural changes equivalent to what MS just announced with Palladium.
		In the latter part of the paper, Anderson attempts to assess the economic and social impact of the TCPA, concluding that the alliance is not about privacy and secure commerce but about handing an unprecedented level of control over what we watch, read, and hear to a small cartel of copyright and patent holders.
		Still, the TCPA is disappointing, though, because many of us were holding out some small hope regarding the Silicon Valley vs. Hollywood dust-up that the whole "the enemy of my enemy is my friend" thing would keep the Magic Kingdom from turning us all into serfs.
