	Trusted Computing - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Trusted computing encompasses five key technology concepts, of which all are required for a fully trusted system.
		Trusted computing could also avoid attacks by virus, however Microsoft has denied that this functionality will be present in its NGSCB architecture.
		Trusted computing could be used to guarantee participants in a grid computing system are returning the results of the computations they claim to be instead of forging them.

	Trusted Computing Group - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
		The Trusted Computing Group (TCG), successor to the Trusted Computing Platform Alliance (TCPA), is an initiative led by AMD, Hewlett-Packard, IBM, Infineon, Intel, Lenovo, Microsoft, and Sun Microsystems to implement trusted computing.
		TCG's original major goal was the development of a Trusted Platform Module (TPM), a semiconductor intellectual property core or integrated circuit that conforms to the trusted platform module specification put forward by the Trusted Computing Group and is to be included with computers to enable trusted computing features.
		Significant backlash amongst the Trusted Computing Group was present during Richard Stallman's speech at the Hackers on Planet Earth conference in July 2006, in New York.

	Intertrust Technologies – Trusted Computing
		Trusted computing technologies allow rightsholders to express policies and have those policies negotiated and enforced in any execution environment.
		Conversely, a trusted computing technology also allows you to extend control of your code beyond your computing environment, by setting usage rights or policies that are enforced in any foreign environment.
		It is for these and numerous other reasons that trusted computing technologies are as important inside organizations as outside them, and as relevant to the entertainment and media industry as they are to the pharmaceutical industry.

	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.

	EFF: Trusted Computing
		Computer security is undeniably important, and as new vulnerabilities are discovered and exploited, the perceived need for new security solutions grows.
		"Trusted computing" initiatives propose to solve some of today's security problems through hardware changes to the personal computer.
		Changing hardware design isn't inherently suspicious, but the leading trusted computing proposals have a high cost: they provide security to users while giving third parties the power to enforce policies on users' computers against the users' wishes -- they let others pressure you to hand some control over your PC to someone else.

	Can you trust your computer? - GNU Project - Free Software Foundation (FSF)
		With a plan they call "trusted computing", large media corporations (including the movie companies and record companies), together with computer companies such as Microsoft and Intel, are planning to make your computer obey them instead of you.
		The technical idea underlying treacherous computing is that the computer includes a digital encryption and signature device, and the keys are kept secret from you.
		Treacherous computing puts the existence of free operating systems and free applications at risk, because you may not be able to run them at all.

	Applied Data Security Group - Trusted Computing (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
		Trusted computing platforms like Microsoft NGSCB or TCPA are announced to be the next-generation computing platforms.
		Nevertheless, the need for computing platforms that are trustworthy in such a way that they fulfill requirements of both local end-users and external content providers is still there.
		In our opinion, the conflicts between digital rights management, trusted computing, personal security, and copyright can be solved by faithfully designing a DRM-enabled security kernel that, in the sense of multilateral security, can be trusted by content providers and end-users.

	Trusted computing raises privacy fears - ZDNet UK News
		Trusted computers are PCs, servers and consumer devices that can secure specific data using encryption.
		The Trusted Computing Group was formed last week by Advanced Micro Devices, Hewlett-Packard, IBM, Intel and Microsoft to create specifications for such systems and promote the adoption of trusted platforms.
		Others have made similar statements, particularly in regards to a feature of Microsoft's version of trusted computing, formerly known as Palladium but now dubbed the "next-generation secure computing base." The feature, remote attestation, allows an application running on a computer to phone home and check that it's current status, or integrity, can be verified.

	Boing Boing: Apple to add Trusted Computing to the new kernel?
		The Trusted Computing people say that they intend on Trusted Computing being used to stop the unauthorized distribution of music, but none of them has ever refuted the Darknet paper, where several of Trusted Computing's inventors explain that Trusted Computing isn't fit to this purpose.
		The point of Trusted Computing is to make it hard -- impossible, if you believe the snake-oil salesmen from the Trusted Computing world -- to open a document in a player other than the one that wrote it in the first place, unless the application vendor authorizes it.
		Apple may never implement this in their own apps (though I'll be shocked silly if it isn't used in iTunes and the DVD player), but Trusted Computing in the kernel is like a rifle on the mantelpiece: if it's present in act one, it'll go off by act three.

	What is Trusted Computing
		Trusted computing is an industry standard to make personal computers more secure through a dedicated hardware chip, called a Trusted Platform Module (TPM).
		The technical industry is responding to the challenge raised by these issues with standards-based security solutions specified by the Trusted Computing Group (TCG).
		Working within a new Trusted PC or Trusted Platform, this security chip protects secrets by hardware that would otherwise be more vulnerable and only be protected by software.

	TrustedReviews - Trusted Computing
		Microsoft is deeply involved in what was called the TCPA (Trusted Computing Platform Alliance) and is now called the TCG (Trusted Computing Group).
		Microsoft used to refer to its Trusted Computing technology as Palladium but has since changed it to NGSCB, or Next Generation Secure Computing Base.
		Trusted Computing uses a chip called a TPM (Trusted Computing Module), also nicknamed a Fritz-chip, after Senator Ernest ‘Fritz’ Hollings of South Carolina who retired in December 2004 after 38years in the US Senate during which time he sponsored a number of legal bills aimed at protecting intellectual property rights.

	Trusted Computing: Just Wishful Thinking? - Networking Center - Network Computing (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
		Using a variety of methods, the computer hardware and software are measured and collectively form a baseline of the computer configuration.
		Of course, using a TPM to measure and report on system configuration should provide strong assurance that the system is functioning as expected, because it should be impossible, without the use of a hardware attack, to compromise the measurement and reporting mechanisms.
		Bottom line, the TCG TPM is a bandage for a more systemic problem: Trusted computing must consist of more than measuring a block of bits at a point in time.

		As a longtime member of the world's first computer generation (My first system was an Atari 400 that had been customised and out-grown by my Father), I am thankful for the fantastic work being done by all the diverse people of the "Open Source and Free Software" Community.
		Just recently I was mulling over the idea of trust in computing and came to the conclusion that it's really just a question of where you stop thinking about it.
		If you trust your apps, then your OS must be trust which means that your drivers and such must be trusted which means trusting the people who wrote them, their systems and tools as well as all the hardware and software involved in getting things between them and yourself.
