Abstract :
Trusted computing is an idea worth dusting off. Although it has been a bit of a flop for the better part of a half century, we might be experiencing a perfect storm regarding the motivations and capabilities needed to realize trusted computing. You might not be able to buy complete trusted systems today. However, in the coming years, the development of trusted computing hopefully will give us more assurance in the systems we use and ultimately more trust in the transactions we make on the Internet every day.
