Abstract
Trusted Computing technology is quickly developing in recent years. This technology manages to improve the computer security and archive a trusted computing environment. The core of trusted computing technology is cryptology. In this paper, we analyze the key and credential mechanism which is two basic aspects in the cryptology application of trusted computing. We give an example application to illustrate that the TPM enabled key and credential mechanism can improve the security of computer system.
