Introduction
Platform assurance is a special case of establishing trust. In this chapter we give a generic assessment of trust, followed by an assessment of the impact of computer systems in relation to online trust. After this, we discuss trusted technologies that are currently deployed, and exactly how these may enhance trust and privacy. Finally, we explain how the PRIME Platform Trust Manager operates and can enhance trust.
Some related concepts have already been introduced in previous chapters, notably Chapter 16, where trust is discussed in relation to system policy compliance checking, and Chapter 9, where the trust negotiation concept is mentioned.
