		A Trusted Platform Module (TPM) is a microcontroller located on the motherboard of a PC that stores passwords, digital certificates and cryptographic keys.
		TPMs can also be used to authenticate a PC as each chip is unique to the PC on which it is housed.
		A. No. The TPM is meant to protect passwords, encryption keys, certificates and other sensitive data such as biometric information, maintaining privacy for each individual user who is enabled to use the TPM on that system.

		With a TPM onboard, each time your computer starts, you prove your identity to the machine using something as simple as a PIN number or, preferably, a more secure system such as a fingerprint reader.
		A movie, for example, would be able to look at the TPM and know whether it was legally licensed to run on that machine, whether it could be copied or sent to others, or whether it was supposed to self-destruct after three viewings.
		If you sold a computer with a TPM and bought a new one, there would be some way to securely transfer your identity from the old machine to the new one.

	IBM Research \| IBM Research \| Virtual Trusted Platform Module
		TPMs that are currently being built into newer systems provide singular instances of features such as: endorsement- and storage root key pairs, TPM owner, one set of Platform Configuration Registers and other singletons, with existing TPM-based security architectures having been built around these features.
		Our proposed extensions to the TPM command set support this feature in such a way that the complete state of the TPM is secured throughout the transition, based on migrateable storage keys that are shared between the involved systems.
		The virtual TPMs are managed through the new TPM commands which are sent from the privileged VM where all other VMs are started and stopped and VM migration is initiated.

		TPM, a specification developed by the Trusted Computing Group and endorsed by Intel and many motherboard manufacturers, utilises a separate security microchip for the storage and transmission of keys, passwords and digital certificates.
		Proponents of TPM argue that hardware-level security is less vulnerable to attacks than software-based systems, which can often easily be thwarted if attackers have physical access to a machine's hard drive.
		TPM is also being promoted by Microsoft, which has incorporated support for the platform into the business versions of its forthcoming Vista operating system.

	Windows Vista Trusted Platform Module Services Step by Step Guide
		The TPM is usually installed on the motherboard of a computer or laptop, and communicates with the rest of the system using a hardware bus.
		Because the TPM uses its own internal firmware and logic circuits for processing instructions, it does not rely upon the operating system and is not exposed to external software vulnerabilities.
		If the TPM Initialization Wizard detects a BIOS that does not meet Windows Vista requirements, you will not be able to continue with the wizard, and you will be alerted to consult the computer manufacturer's documentation for instructions for initializing the TPM.

	Trusted Computing - TCG proposals
		Trusted Computing aims to provide a level of security which is beyond the control of the PC user, and is therefore resistant to attacks which the user may deliberately or accidentally allow.
		In order to trust C, one must trust A and B. In the above example, to trust the Java application to behave correctly, one must trust the JVM to behave correctly, which in turn requires to trust the operating system to behave in a correct maner.
		To decrypt this package, one must be running the same TPM, have the key, and the current PCR value has to match with the value used in the sealing process.
