Abstract
Put simply, trusted computing platforms attempt to use some degree of hardware security to secure a broader platform and the distributed applications that use it. We have seen two main thrusts:
-
secure coprocessors (trustworthy platforms protected by a physical security boundary), and
-
trusted platform modules (smaller non-computational units that add trustworthiness to a platform that lies outside the physical security boundary).
(In this taxonomy, the areas of personal tokens and cryptographic accelerators would probably fit as an offshoot of the former.)
